What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: Sentinel-2 MSI multispectral surface reflectance bands (L2A, bottom-of-atmosphere) · Scene classification map (SCL) · Aerosol optical thickness (AOT) · Water vapour (WVP) · True colour visual composite
Coverage docs-verified: Global
Resolution docs-verified: 10 m (blue, green, red, NIR), 20 m (red edge, NIR 8A, SWIR, SCL, AOT, WVP), 60 m (coastal aerosol, NIR 9)
Formats docs-verified: GeoTIFF (cloud-optimized) · JPEG 2000 (JP2) · JPEG (thumbnail) · STAC JSON
Access llm-inferred: No authentication required (auth: null); licence proprietary, per the Copernicus/ESA Sentinel Data Legal Notice

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Vegetation and water-index baselines (NDVI, NDWI) from red, green and NIR bands for ecological and BNG habitat baselines · Surface-water extent monitoring for reservoirs and catchments using green and NIR bands · Cloud and shadow masking of scenes using the SCL layer before time-series analysis
Audience llm-inferred: ecologists · GIS analysts · hydrologists · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Level-2A product only; raw Level-1C is not offered by this collection · Time span is not stated in the docs; check available dates via the items endpoint before planning analysis · Proprietary licence; check the legal notice before redistributing derived data · Bands are 10/20/60 m, so resampling is needed before stacking · Cloud masking via SCL is required; scenes are not cloud-free by default
