Copernicus Sentinel-2 MV

The Sentinel-2 satellites provide images in the visible and infrared spectrum. Its 13 channels are optimized for land surface observation. The high resolution of up to 10 m and the scanning width of 290 km are ideal for recognizing changes in vegetation and for making harvest forecasts, mapping forest stands or determining the growth of wild and crop plants. The instrument is also used on coasts and inland waters, for example to observe algae growth or to track sediment inflow into river deltas. All data are accessible free of charge. The Office for Geoinformation, Surveying and Cadastre Mecklenburg-West Pomerania creates digital orthophoto (DOP) mosaics of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania on the basis of data from the Sentinel-2 satellites. Depending on the data situation, a mosaic is aimed for for each month. These mosaics are offered as RGB and CIR images.
