Sentinel-2
This AWS registry provides free and open access to Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, a land monitoring mission offering high-resolution optical data globally every five days. It includes both L1C and L2A data, regularly updated within hours of availability. The data supports various ongoing studies and applications.
The Sentinel-2 mission offers a comprehensive land monitoring solution through its constellation of two satellites. These satellites deliver high-resolution optical imagery, ensuring global coverage of the Earth's land surface every five days. This continuous and frequent data acquisition makes Sentinel-2 invaluable for a wide array of ongoing environmental and land-use studies. Data is available as L1C (since June 2015 globally) and L2A (since November 2016 over Europe, globally since January 2017).
The data is free, full, and openly accessible to a broad international user community, with new data additions occurring regularly, typically within hours of becoming available on Copernicus OpenHub. This ensures users have access to the most recent imagery for their projects.
A variety of tools and applications leverage Sentinel-2 data, including web-based browsers like EO Browser and Sentinel Playground, powerful GIS plugins for QGIS, and Python packages for programmatic access. These resources facilitate data exploration, analysis, and integration into various geospatial workflows, supporting tasks such as crop monitoring, land cover classification, and cloud-masking.
