description

With the objective to improve data quality in terms of cloud detection, absolute radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction, the PRoject for On-Board Autonomy-Vegetation (PROBA-V) data archive (October 2013 - June 2020) will be reprocessed to Collection 2 (C2). The product validation is organized in three phases and focuses on the intercomparison with PROBA-V Collection 1 (C1), but also consistency analysis with SPOT-VGT, Sentinel-3 SYN-VGT, Terra-MODIS and METOP-AVHRR is foreseen. First preliminary results show the better performance of cloud and snow/ice masking, and indicate that statistical consistency between PROBA-V C2 and C1 are in line with expectations. PROBA-V C2 data are to be released to the public in September 2021.
