Abstract

This dataset contains Top-of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectances in cartographic geometry (level 1C) processed data, from the Multispectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 2B satellite. Sentinel 2B was launched on 7th March 2016 and provides multispectral images of the earth’s surface as a continuation and enhancement of the Landsat and SPOT missions. Data are provided by the European Space Agency (ESA) and are made available via CEDA to any registered user.

CEDA have switched to provide Sentinel 2 data for the UK and Dependencies along with data needed per project basis as of April 2019. Please contact us if you need data outside these areas and we will see what we can do.

Title Level 1C processing algorithm applied to Sentinel 2 raw data
Abstract This computation involves the Level 1 processing algorithm applied to raw Multispectral Instrument (MSI) data. Level-1C processing includes radiometric and geometric corrections including ortho-rectification and spatial registration on a global reference system with sub-pixel accuracy. This processing produces the level 1C data as well as quicklook images for the user.
