For LST
The latest release of the SLSTR L2 LST products includes two new evolutions:
- Scientifically meaningful and traceable LST uncertainties
- An improved snow masking scheme designed to benefit the retrieval of LST.
Both evolutions are detailed in the Product Notice accompanying the release.
The state-or-art uncertainty model uses information from the L1 and from auxiliary data to provide the necessary information for users in their applications. The snow masking scheme enhances both the LST and cloud masking in transient snow covered regions.”
For SY_VG1
The operational SY_2_V10 processing is not able to deal with two different formats of VG1 products. Therefore, following the deployment of modified SY_2_VG1 format, there will be a gap of one V10 product corresponding to the period from 11 to 20 June 2021.
