Ten-Meter Sentinel-2A Cloud-Free Composite—Southern Africa 2016

Ten-Meter Sentinel-2A Cloud-Free Composite—Southern Africa 2016

The processing of cloud free geo-referenced imagery is one of the preliminary processing steps of any land application. This letter describes the methodology developed to obtain a seamless cloud free composite of Africa for 2016 using Sentinel-2A data at 10-meter resolution freely available from the...
