Sentinel-2 Processing Baseline v04.00 Not Supported with Sen2Cor v2.9

Optical Toolbox sen2cor

Creating this topic for reference in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Following News Article 935 regarding the upcoming Processing Baseline v04.00 for Sentinel-2 products, I downloaded the L1C sample, and processed with Sen2Cor v2.9

It returned the following error:

Syntax error in metadata, see report file for details.

I know this has been a similar error reported elsewhere. It’s possibly indicative that Sen2Cor 2.9 doesn’t yet support this new Sentinel-2 format.

I have contacted eosupport and will publish and will publish any response here.

From what I heard, Sen2Cor 2.10.0 will be released in order to handle the new Sentinel-2 format.
When Sen2Cor 2.9.0 was released, this new Sentinel-2 format didn’t exist, so … it’s normal that Sen2Cor 2.9.0 don’t support it.

Thank you for your response

Great to hear that a new SenCor version will be released to deal with the baseline upgrade. One question which remains: will Sen2Cor 2.10.0 be compatible with the old processing baseline?
