Sun illumination angles in Sentinel 2

Optical Toolbox
1

Hi,
I am working with Sentinel-2A images and I want to use the Sun illumination angles in other software different to SNAP . Where can I find these layers? In SNAP these files are located in Bands folder into a sun’s folder.
Thank,
MIKEL

Hi,

there are not specific jp2 images for the sun angles in the S2 product. In the Sentinel-2 reader of SNAP, we use the values that you can find in the granule’s metadata to build the image:
