How to load Sentinel-2 granule in Google Earth?
According to this, it is possible to load/add a Sentinel-2 granule by naming the image like this: So, in my case, I’ve tried to load an existing Sentinel-2 granule, writing this:
Where can I find the Sentinel-2 dataset?
To access this dataset in Earth Engine, please sign up for Earth Engine then return to this page. Sentinel-2 is a wide-swath, high-resolution, multi-spectral imaging mission supporting Copernicus Land Monitoring studies, including the monitoring of vegetation, soil and water cover, as well as observation of inland waterways and coastal areas.
What does level 1C mean on Sentinel 2?
These Sentinel-2 images are processed to Level-1C, which means they are orthorectified, map-projected images containing top-of-atmosphere reflectance data. See the Sentinel-2 User Guide for general information about Sentinel-2 and the Sentinel-2 Level-1C Technical Guide for additional details.
How are images organized in the Sentinel 2?
Images are organized in the Sentinel-2 tiling grid, which is based on the Military grid reference system that divides the Earth into square tiles of approximately 100 km on each side. A single image tile acquired at a particular point in time is referred to as a “granule.”.
What can I do with the Sentinel 2 data?
The additional metadata files can be used with the Sentinel-2 Toolbox, an open source toolbox developed for the European Space Agency (ESA). This toolbox includes visualisation, analysis, and processing tools for Sentinel-2 data. To help locate data of interest, an index CSV file of the sentinel-2 data is available.
Where can I find the Sentinel-2 grid square?
GRID_SQUARE: A two-letter code indicating the particular 100 km square region. GRANULE_ID: The Sentinel-2 id of a particular granule, which contains images of this grid square at some point in time. For example, all Sentinel-2 granules over one particular GRID_SQUARE in eastern Germany can be found here:
What are the spectral bands of Sentinel-2?
Sentinel-2 (S2) is a wide-swath, high-resolution, multispectral imaging mission with a global 5-day revisit frequency. The S2 Multispectral Instrument (MSI) samples 13 spectral bands: visible and NIR at 10 meters, red edge and SWIR at 20 meters, and atmospheric bands at 60 meters spatial resolution.
