Dear all,

Do you know where can I download Sentinel-2 Level 1B images ? If they are distributed of course.
Best regards,

Hello @antoineba

Level-1B is not distributed. The distributed product levels are Level-1C and Level-2A.

Dear Jan,

Thank you for your answer and guidance. However, I found an article “Sentinel 2 Global Reference Image” by Déchoz et al. in SPIE proceedings of 2015 using Level 1B products for generating a global reference image. They write: “the Level-1B is the first public product”.
Do you know more about this ?

Best regards and thanks again for your reactivity !

You could ask the authors directly, maybe they made a mistake and wrote L1B instead of L1C.

Hi Antoine,
It is true that the L1B is used for the GRI. But the GRI is a special case; it is and ADF https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/technical-guides/sentinel-2-msi/level-1/adfs. So It is not an output product, but - like the Level-0 and Level-1A - a precursor stage in the processing that results in the disseminated Level-1C and Level-2A User products.

Cheers

Hi Jan,

I will ask the authors how they got the data. Anyway, thank you very much for your answers.
