Sentinel-2 Level-1 Radiometry Assessment Using Vicarious Methods From DIMITRI Toolbox and Field Measurements From RadCalNet Database |

|---|---|---|
The Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B constellation is an Earth observation optical mission developed and operated by the European Space Agency in the frame of the Copernicus program of the European Commission. The novel observation capacity offered by the multispectral instruments (MSI) on-board Sentinel-2 mission provides a massive resource for the Earth observation community. The accurate radiometric calibration is a critical element of the success of the mission; therefore, in-orbit calibration and validation activities are conducted within the Sentinel-2 Mission Performance Centre. The database of the imaging multispectral instrument and tool for radiometric intercomparison and the ground measurements of the radiometric calibration network (RadCalNet) are used to perform the vicarious validation of the radiometry of the Level-1 products delivered to the users. The aims of this validation are to assess the quality of the data product, to monitor the evolution of the radiometry of both instruments, and to ensure that the products meet the mission requirement accuracy. This article outlines the vicarious methods—Rayleigh scattering, desert pseudoinvariant calibration sites, sensor-to-sensor intercalibration, and the ground reflectance-based approach—that are used for the Sentinel-2 radiometry validation. The validation results indicate good performance and stability of both sensors MSI-A and MSI-B and consistency up to ∼1% (∼2% for red-edge bands) between them. The results of the intercomparison with the

measurements from RadCalNet illustrate the relevance of such dataset for the vicarious validation activity. |
