Abstract. Global land cover is a key variable in the earth system with feedbacks on climate, biodiversity and natural resources. However, global data sets presently fall short of user needs providing detailed spatial thematic information that consistently mapped over time easily transferable to requirements models. In 2009, European Space Agency launched Climate Change Initiative (CCI), (LC_CCI) as 1 13 essential climate variables targeted for research development. The LC_CCI was implemented...
The Atmospheric Correction Inter-comparison eXercise (ACIX) is an international initiative with the aim to analyse Surface Reflectance (SR) products of various state-of-the-art atmospheric correction (AC) processors. Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) and Water Vapour (WV) are also examined in ACIX as additional outputs AC processing. In this paper, general framework discussed; special mention made motivation initiate experiment, inter-comparison protocol, principal results. free open every...
Abstract. The existing medium-resolution land cover time series produced under the European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative provides 29 years (1992–2020) of annual maps at 300 m resolution, allowing for a detailed study change dynamics over contemporary era. Because models need two-dimensional parameters rather than information, classes must be converted into model-appropriate plant functional types (PFTs) to apply this Earth system and surface models. first-generation cross-walking...
Coarse resolution sensors are not very sensitive at detecting small fire patches, making current estimations of global burned areas (BA) conservative. Using medium or high-resolution to generate BA products becomes then a priority, particularly in where fires tend be and frequent. Building on previous work that developed dataset (SFD) for Sub-Saharan Africa 2016, this paper presents new version the 2019 using two Sentinel-2 satellites (A B) VIIRS active fires. Total estimated was 4.8 Mkm2....
Abstract. Essential Climate Variables were listed by the Global Observing System as critical information to further understand climate system and support modelling. The European Space Agency launched its Change Initiative in order provide an adequate response set of requirements for long-term satellite-based products climate. Within this program, CCI Land Cover project aims at revisiting all algorithms required generation global land cover that are stable consistent over time, while also...
This article presents the burned area (BA) product of Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) European Commission. product, named C3SBA10, is based on adaptation to Sentinel-3 OLCI images a BA algorithm developed within Fire Initiative (FireCCI) project, which used MODIS data. We first reviewed process and then analysed results both products for common years (2017–2019). Comparisons were performed using four different grid sizes (0.05°, 0.10°, 0.25°, 0.50°). Annual correlations between two...
The existing CCI Medium Resolution land cover (MRLC) product delineates 22 primary and 15 secondary classes at 300-meter resolution with global coverage an annual time step extending from 1992 to the present. Previously, translation of into plant functional types (PFTs) used by Earth system surface models required use cross-walking table that defines, for each class, invariant PFT fractional composition every pixel class regardless geographic location. Here, we present a new series data...
Earth Observation satellite data allows for the monitoring of surface our planet at predefined intervals covering large areas. However, there is only one medium resolution sensor family in orbit that enables an observation time span 40 and more years a daily repeat interval. This AVHRR family. If we want to investigate long-term impacts climate change on environment, can do so based remains available several decades. then processes with respect change, need very high temporal enabling...

In the framework of European Copernicus programme, Space Agency (ESA) has launched Sentinel-2 (S2) Earth Observation (EO) mission which provides optical high spatial resolution imagery over land and coastal areas. As part this mission, a tool (named S2-RUT, from Radiometric Uncertainty Tool) been developed. The estimates radiometric uncertainty associated with each pixel in top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance factor images provided by ESA. This paper describes design development process...
Abstract. This paper presents a new global, operational burned area (BA) product at 300 m, called C3SBA10, generated from Sentinel-3 Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) near-infrared (NIR) reflectance Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) thermal anomaly data. was within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Since C3S is European service, it aims to use extensively satellite missions, named Sentinels. Therefore, one of components service adapting previous developed...

This paper discusses results from 12 months of a Round Robin exercise aimed at the inter-comparison different cloud detection algorithms for Proba-V. Clouds is critical issue satellite optical remote sensing, since potential errors in masking directly translates into significant uncertainty retrieved downstream geophysical products. Cloud particularly challenging Proba-V due to presence limited number spectral bands and lack thermal infrared bands. The main objective project was several over...
PROBA-V (PRoject for On-Board Autonomy–Vegetation) was launched in May-2013 as an operational continuation to the vegetation (VGT) instruments on-board Système Pour l’Observation de la Terre (SPOT)-4 and -5 satellites. The first reprocessing campaign of archive from Collection 0 (C0) 1 (C1) aims at harmonizing time series, thanks improved radiometric geometric calibration cloud detection. evaluation C1 focuses on (i) qualitative quantitative assessment new detection scheme; (ii)...
<p>The CISAR (Combined Inversion of Surface and AeRosols) algorithm is exploited in the framework ESA-SEOM CIRCAS (ConsIstent Retrieval Cloud Aerosol Surface) project, aiming at providing a set atmospheric (cloud aerosol) surface reflectance products derived from S3A/SLSTR observations using same radiative transfer physics assumptions. an advance developed by Rayference originally designed for retrieval aerosol single scattering properties both geostationary polar orbiting...
