Summary edit

Description
English: This image has been obtained using thousands of images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar satellites between 18 April 2020 and 17 April 2021 (in descending orbit). It represents a mosaic of part of Europe and allows to observe the seasonal vegetation changes during the reference period. The image shows the areas where vegetation was present only during the spring 2020 in red, in green the areas where vegetation was present only during the summer of 2020, in yellow those where vegetation was present during both the spring, autumn 2020 and winter 2021. All other areas had some vegetation cover throughout the period of reference. Large-scale mosaics of satellite data are crucial for several applications including mapping of large natural hazard areas, land cover classification and land management. Using data from Copernicus missions, it is possible to put together high spatial resolution mosaics of any region in the world.
