Data was downloaded from the Copernicus Open Access Hub and mosaiced by DWR. Imagery resolution is 10m.</span></p><p><span>Spatial reference system is WGS 1984 UTM Zone 11N. The Sentinel-2 mission consists of two satellites developed to support vegetation, land cover, and environmental monitoring. The Sentinel-2A satellite was launched by ESA on June 23, 2015, and operates in a sun-synchronous orbit with a 10-day repeat cycle. A second identical satellite (Sentinel-2B) was launched March 7, 2017. Together they cover all Earth’s land surfaces, large islands, and inland and coastal waters every five days. The Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) acquires 13 spectral bands ranging from Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR) to Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) wavelengths along a 290-km orbital swath. The MSI sensor data are complementary to data acquired by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) (Comparison of Sentinel-2 and Landsat).</span></p><p><span>This is an official DWR Image Service, which meets all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standards version 3.5, dated April 12, 2023.</span></p><p><span>DWR makes no warranties or guarantees — either expressed or implied — as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data.
