ESA WorldCover Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 10m Annual Composites

Description

The WorldCover 10m Annual Composites were produced, as part of the European Space Agency (ESA) WorldCover project, from the yearly Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 archives for both years 2020 and 2021. These global mosaics consists of four products composites. A Sentinel-2 RGBNIR yearly median composite for bands B02, B03, B04, B08. A Sentinel-2 SWIR yearly median composite for bands B11 and B12. A Sentinel-2 NDVI yearly percentiles composite (NDVI 90th, NDVI 50th NDVI 10th percentiles). A Sentinel-1 GAMMA0 yearly median composite for bands VV, VH and VH/VV (power scaled). Each product is delivered as a series of Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs) in WSG84 projection in a grid of 1 by 1 degrees and at 0.3 arc seconds resolution (approx. 10m), except for the SWIR composite which is delivered at 0.6 arc seconds (approx. 20m). The Sentinel-2 composites were produced from the L2A archive. The GAMMA0 composite was produced by pre-processing the Sentinel-1 GRD products using GAMMA software.
