Sentinel-2 Global Surface Reflectance Level-2a Product Generated with Sen2Cor [PDF]
Sen2Cor is a Level-2A processor designed to correct Sentinel-2 Level-1C products from the effects of the atmosphere in order to deliver a Level-2A surface reflectance product. ESA has been using Sen2Cor for systematic Level-2A processing of Sentinel-2 acquisitions over Europe since June 2017. It has since then been successfully integrated into Sentinel-

Evaluation of Sentinel-2A Surface Reflectance Derived Using Sen2Cor in North America
Surface reflectance can be derived from satellite measurements for the top of atmosphere and provides an important dataset for monitoring land change reliably. In this study, the Sentinel-2A surface reflectance was generated using the Sentinel-2 atmospheric correction (Sen2Cor) processor.

The improper management of plastic waste has become a silent killer in the marine ecosystem. The scientific evidence of plastic accumulated in marine biota and entering the food web have urged quick actions against the plastic pollution. The plastic detection algorithms developed using satellite images can proclaim emission, transportation, weathering ...

Comparison of Cloud Cover Detection Algorithms on Sentinel–2 Images of the Amazon Tropical Forest
Tropical forests regulate the global water and carbon cycles and also host most of the world’s biodiversity. Despite their importance, they are hard to survey due to their location, extent, and particularly, their cloud coverage.

Mangrove Phenology From Scale, Data and Species Perspectives. [PDF]
This study investigates mangrove phenology in the northern subtropical zone of Zhanjiang, China, using satellite‐derived Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series. Our results reveal clear annual phenological patterns with significant variation across species and datasets, highlighting the superior sensitivity of Sentinel‐2 over Landsat 8.

Closed-Form Method for Atmospheric Correction (CMAC) of Smallsat Data Using Scene Statistics
High-cadence Earth observation smallsat images offer potential for near real-time global reconnaissance of all sunlit cloud-free locations. However, these data must be corrected to remove light-transmission effects from variable atmospheric aerosol that ...
