The convergence of new EO data flows, methodological developments and cloud computing infrastructure calls for a paradigm shift in operational agriculture monitoring. Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission providing systematic 5-day revisit cycle free access opens completely avenue near real-time crop specific monitoring at parcel level over large countries. This research investigated the feasibility to propose methods develop an open source system able generate, national scale, cloud-free...
Crop area extent estimates and crop type maps provide crucial information for agricultural monitoring management. Remote sensing imagery in general and, more specifically, high temporal spatial resolution data as the ones which will be available with upcoming systems, such Sentinel-2, constitute a major asset this kind of application. The goal paper is to assess what state-of-the-art supervised classification methods can applied multi-temporal optical produce accurate at global scale. Five...
The correction of atmospheric effects is one the preliminary steps required to make quantitative use time series high resolution images from optical remote sensing satellites. An accurate requires good knowledge aerosol thickness (AOT) and type. As a first step, this study compares performances two kinds AOT estimation methods applied FormoSat-2 LandSat images: multi-spectral method that assumes constant relationship between surface reflectance measurements multi-temporal reflectances are...
The Sentinel-2 satellite mission, developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) for Copernicus program of Union, provides repetitive multi-spectral observations all Earth land surfaces at a high resolution. Level 2A product is basic requested many users: it surface reflectance after atmospheric correction, with cloud and shadow mask. cloud/shadow mask key element to enable an automatic processing data, therefore, its performances must be accurately validated. To validate operational mask,...
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 seasonal snow in the Pyrenees is critical for hydropower production, crop irrigation and tourism France, Spain Andorra. Complementary to situ observations, satellite remote sensing useful monitor effect of climate on dynamics. MODIS daily products (Terra/MOD10A1 Aqua/MYD10A1) are widely used generate cover climatologies, yet it preferable assess their accuracies prior use. Here, we use both observations data evaluate Pyrenees. First, compare depth (SD) water equivalent (SWE)...
Abstract. The Theia Snow collection routinely provides high-resolution maps of the snow-covered area from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 observations. covers selected areas worldwide, including main mountain regions in western Europe (e.g. Alps, Pyrenees) High Atlas Morocco. Each product contains four classes: snow, no cloud data. We present algorithm to generate snow products provide an evaluation accuracy using situ depth measurements, higher-resolution visual control. results suggest that is...
Cloud cover is a major limiting factor in exploiting time-series data acquired by optical spaceborne remote sensing sensors. Multiple methods have been developed to address the problem of cloud detection satellite imagery and number masking algorithms for sensors but very few studies carried out quantitative intercomparison state-of-the-art this domain. This paper summarizes results first Masking Intercomparison eXercise (CMIX) conducted within Committee Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS)...
Since 18 December 2004, the PARASOL satellite is a member of so-called A-train atmospheric orbital observatory, flying together with Aqua, Aura, CALIPSO, CLOUDSAT, and OCO satellites. These satellites combine for first time full suite instruments observing aerosols clouds, using passive radiometer complementarily active lidar radar sounders. The payload extensively derived from instrument developed POLDER programs that performs measurements bidirectionality polarization very wide...
The exploitation of new high revisit frequency satellite observations is an important opportunity for agricultural applications.

In framework this project, article studies construction a dynamic cropland mask. This mask consists binary...
Monitoring of water resources and a better understanding the eco-hydrological processes governing their dynamics are necessary to anticipate develop measures adapt climate water-use changes. Focusing on this aim, research project carried out within framework French–Moroccan cooperation demonstrated how remote sensing can help improve monitoring modelling in semi-arid Mediterranean regions. The study area is Tensift Basin located near Marrakech (Morocco) – typical Southern catchment with...

POLDER is a CNES instrument on board NASDA's ADEOS polar orbiting satellite, which was successfully launched in August 1996. On October 30, 1996, entered its nominal acquisition phase and worked perfectly until ADEOS's early end of service June 1997. multispectral imaging radiometer/polarimeter designed to collect global repetitive observations the solar radiation reflected by Earth/atmosphere system, with wide field view (2400 km) moderate geometric resolution (6 km). The concept based...
Multi-temporal images acquired at high spatial and temporal resolution are an important tool for detecting change analyzing trends, especially in agricultural applications. However, to insure a reliable use of this kind data, rigorous radiometric normalization step is required. Normalization can be addressed by performing atmospheric correction each image the time series. The main problem difficulty obtaining characterization given acquisition date. In paper, we investigate whether relative...
