Collection Access

Sentinel-2 L2A Quarterly Cloudless Mosaic is one of the Sentinel-2 products, that is offered in Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. The data is accessible via Copernicus Browser. To access the data, you need a Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem account, and then either create a Sentinel Hub Process API request to the collection or to visualise the data via Copernicus Browser. The collection ID is 5460de54-082e-473a-b6ea-d5cbe3c17cca, and the collection type is byoc-5460de54-082e-473a-b6ea-d5cbe3c17cca.

General description

A true color composite uses visible light bands red, green and blue in the corresponding red, green and blue color channels, resulting in a natural colored product, that is a good representation of the Earth as humans would see it naturally. For Sentinel-2 L2A Quarterly Cloudless Mosaic, the contrast enhancement with highlight compression and the saturation enhencement were applied for better visualisation.
