Sentinel-2 L2A Analytic (GeoTIFF)

Sentinel-2 L2A Analytic (GeoTIFF) provides clipped analytic Sentinel-2 data (L2A pre-processing or Bottom Of Atmosphere (BOA) reflectance images) with 13 bands.

The 13 bands include 4 visible bands (10 m resolution), 6 Near-Infrared bands (20 m resolution), and 3 Short-Wave Infrared bands (60 m resolution).

The Sentinel-2 mission is a land monitoring constellation of two satellites that provide high resolution optical imagery and provide continuity for the current SPOT and Landsat missions. The mission provides a global coverage of the Earth’s land surface every 5 days, making the data of great use in on-going studies.

This block can be connected with the processing block Pan-sharpening to upsample all bands to 10 m resolution.

Data Coverage and Update Frequency

Sentinel-2 Level-2A products are available over Europe since March 2018, and since December 2018 the production was extended to global.

New Sentinel data are added regularly, usually within few hours after they are available on Copernicus OpenHub.

Use Cases

Important application areas for Sentinel-2 imagery are: land cover monitoring (agriculture, forestry), coastal area monitoring, inland water monitoring, glacier monitoring and flood mapping. Usage Examples and Tutorials are shown on the provider website here.

Source

The data is managed by Element 84 and collected from the Sentinel 2 bucket on AWS.
