Sentinel-2 Level-2A

The [Sentinel-2](https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-2) program provides global imagery in thirteen spectral bands at 10m-60m resolution and a revisit time of approximately five days. This dataset represents the global Sentinel-2 archive, from 2016 to the present, processed to L2A (bottom-of-atmosphere) using [Sen2Cor](https://step.esa.int/main/snap-supported-plugins/sen2cor/) and converted to [cloud-optimized GeoTIFF](https://www.cogeo.org/) format.

What's in it

Data offered llm-inferred: 13-band multispectral imagery · L2A bottom-of-atmosphere processed surface data (Sen2Cor)
Coverage llm-inferred: Global · 2016 to present
Resolution llm-inferred: 10m-60m spatial (varies by band); revisit approximately 5 days
Formats llm-inferred: cloud-optimized GeoTIFF
Access llm-inferred: No auth listed; licence listed as proprietary (terms not verified against DOCS, check before commercial use)

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Land cover and vegetation change mapping for BNG habitat baseline · Surface water extent mapping for flood risk baseline · Multi-temporal site condition review for pre-development surveys
Audience llm-inferred: ecologists · GIS analysts · hydrologists · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: No DOCS retrieved; claims limited to ENTRY description · Licence listed as proprietary, terms not verified · 10m-60m resolution is too coarse for fine-scale features · Cloud cover can reduce usable acquisitions · Revisit of about 5 days means no same-day imagery
