WASP source and executable are now openly available

WASP (Weighted Average Synthesis Processor) is the tool we use to compute the nice (mostly) cloud free syntheses of Sentinel-2 surface reflectances, as shown in the images below. A full resolution viewer is also available in this post, or you may also download the products you can download from Theia. As promised (but it took a while to get the allowance), we have just released it as an open source software and we are also providing a compiled version for linux platforms.The WASP method was developed at CESBIO by O.Hagolle, in 2007, during the preparation of the Venµs mission. It then evolved and improved with the help of several persons at CESBIO (V.Debaecker, M.Huc, D.Morin, M.Kadiri). Then an operational version was developed by CS Romania within the Sen2Agri consortium funded by ESA, which is distributed as open source. WASP was finally adapted to work in Theia context, and improved by P.Kettig. Peter also set up distribution of the software.So finally, here is how you can download the software :

  • the source code is available within CNES github repository. You will also find there a forum (issues) and a readme file to compile and use the software.
  • but P.Kettig also compiled an executable version (which is tested on Redhat and Ubuntu), which is available from CNES software distribution server. Until now, only a couple of users have used it, so in case of problems, please open an issue on the github platform.

Three Sentinel-2 satellites instead of two: impact on the retrieval of the snow disappearance date

Due to the success of Olivier’s petition, ESA kept Sentinel-2A operational after the launch of Sentinel-2C. Having three operational satellites instead of two increases the revisit, which should improve the quality of the derived products, and therefore the reliability of operational services based on Sentinel-2 data. One of this service is the Copernicus’ High Resolution […]

IOTA2 software mailing list

Hello everyone, We have just created a mailing list for users of the IOTA2 software (iota2 — iota2 documentation). The tool will undergo significant developments in the coming months, and the purpose of this list is to communicate with the community to support these changes and to maintain the processing workflows needed by the users.

Rapid analysis of the GLOF in Gupis, Gilgit-Baltistan

Pakistan news media reported that a glacier lake outburst flood (the failure of a dam containing a glacial lake) occurred near Gupis, Gilgit-Baltistan, a highly mountainous region administered by Pakistan. Satellite images show that the flood triggered a debris flow, which reached the Gupis valley where it hit the Roshan (Rashon) village and blocked the […]
