WMS Copernicus Sentinel-2 MV

The Sentinel-2 satellites provide images in the visible and infrared spectrum. Its 13 channels are optimised for observation of land surfaces. The high resolution of up to 10 m and the sampling width of 290 km are ideal for detecting changes in vegetation and, for example, creating harvest forecasts, mapping forest stocks or determining the growth of wild and crops. The instrument is also used on coasts and inland waters to observe algae growth or to track sediment input in river deltas. All data is accessible free of charge. On the basis of the data base of the Sentinel-2 satellite Digital Orthophoto (DOP) mosaics of Mecklenburg Vorpommern, the Office for Geoinformation, Surveying and Catastrophic Engineering Mecklenburg Vorpommern creates mosaics. Depending on the data situation, a mosaic is sought for each month. If necessary, pictures of the previous month are also used. These mosaics are offered as RGB and CIR images.
