VITO Remote Sensing is pleased to announce that the improved PROBA-V data has been released. The data is available via the PROBA-V MEP and Terrascope platforms so users can exploit the data (free of charge) using Virtual machines, Jupyter Notebooks, and the new viewing application.
PROBA-V stopped monitoring our Earth’s surface on 31 October 2021, sixteen months after the small but brave satellite ended its fully operational lifetime. The entire PROBA-V data archive (16 October 2013 – 30 June 2020) has been reprocessed into segment and synthesis data of the highest possible quality and consistency for various applications. By reprocessing the PROBA-V data archive we were able to change the following processing features which improve the overall quality and use:
- Improved cloud detection algorithm
- Updated radiometric instrument calibration parameter files
- Improved atmospheric corrections
- CEOS Analysis Ready Data (CEOS-ARD) compliancy for TOC products
- Data format upgrade to Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF
- New product search catalogue and viewer
