Description
Optical satellite data (Sentinel-2) which, among other things, show the reflectances of the land surface for the four channels Red, Green, Blue and near Infrared in a spatial resolution of 10 metres. Switzerland is fully imaged approximately every three days, but the usefulness of the data is heavily dependent on meteorological conditions, as the imaging sensor cannot see through clouds. In addition to the already applied localisation of the data, a co-registration of the data optimised for Switzerland is applied for a sub-pixel positional accuracy and the data is delivered in a uniform projection. Also included are optimised quality layers with masks for clouds (and cloud shadows) and topographic shadows. The data processing is still in the commission phase (set-up and validation) until the first quarter of 2025, so the data may be subject to change during this period. Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data.
