Remote Sensing

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) has been providing high temporal resolution images since the first launch of Terra satellite in 1999 followed by the Aqua satellite in 2002. The Terra satellite passes from north to south in the morning at around 10:30 a.m. local time. The Aqua satellite passes from south to north in the afternoon at around 1:30 p.m. Since MODIS has a revisiting time of one or two days, for any given day, there are most likely be images from both Terra and Aqua satellites.

This notebook presents a data preparation workflow that finds same-date and overlapped Landsat8 and Sentinel2 image patches and provide a way to download the processed images to the local machine. This is a part of the ongoing research project Landsat2Sentinel. The whole notebook is available on my Github repository. import ee ee.Initialize() from IPython import display import zipfile import urllib from ipywidgets import IntProgress Function for downloading images from GEE def download_tif(image, scale, name, folder): url = ee.
