The Sentinel 2 satellite modelled by RAMA, published via Wikipedia
The ESA Sentinel 2 satellites will provide the global community of environmental scientists and managers with fantastic terrestrial multi-spectral high-resolution optical data. ESA will give the general public and partners with access to these data sets. The respective users/countries will then have to do some processing of the data sets to render them useful.
In this posting I will try to present some of the work I did as part of a national level working group last year. I will also indicate some of the challenges ahead of institutions working with environmental data management in view of the Sentinel 2.
Challenges include establishing relevant operational products, coordinating such processes and making sure that time series of the same data are available. The posting is mostly based on our report to the Norwegian Space Center.
