Results from the Radiometric Absolute Calibration of Sentinel-2A
The SENTINEL-2A mission, launched in June 2015, is dedicated to the observation of Earth’s land surface and coastal zones, especially the monitoring of land cover change and vegetation. The mission provides data continuity with both LANDSAT and SPOT programs, with increased resolution (down to 10m),...
