Sentinel-2 Surface Reflectance Analysis Ready Data 2016-Q3

Data for 2016-Q3 This dataset is the Sentinel-2 Surface Reflectance Analysis Ready Data (ARD) archive for Switzerland, generated sen2cor 2.5 (step.esa.int/main/third-party-plugins-2/sen2cor/). Detailed description about the Sentinel-2 A & B missions can be found in the CEOS Earth Observation Handbook: database.eohandbook.com/database/missionsummary.aspx?missionID=552 database.eohandbook.com/database/missionsummary.aspx?missionID=553 Sentinel-2 (S2) is a constellation of two sun-synchronous satellites operated by ESA respectively from 2015 to 2022 (Sentinel-2A) and 2017-2024 (Sentinel-2B).

Switzerland is covered by twelve Sentinel-2 scenes (ID: 31TGM, 31TGN, 32TLR, 32TLS, 32TLT, 32TMR, 32TMS, 32TMT, 32TNS, 32TNT, 32TPS, 32TPT). This corresponds to a spatial extent of latitude 45.0 to 47.9N, longitude 5.5 to 11.8E. Data are downloaded as L1C products corresponding to 100x100km2 geometrically corrected Top Of the Atmosphere (TOA) tiles.It supports land monitoring related services, including generation of generic land cover maps, risk mapping and fast images for disaster relief, generation of leaf coverage leaf chlorophyll content and leaf water content42,43.
