I read on one article saying this: ’ Sentinel 2 satellite image is not georeferenced on any coordinate system’. but i could not understand it when i open the any geotiff image that i generated from sentinel2 1C data on google earth it fits well on the scene automatically. can someone please explain?
can you please name the article where this is stated?
As for the L1C and L2A products, Sentinel-2 is georeferenced using the UTM coordinate system.
