Introduction
This section will guide you through searching for various geospatial data using the Catalog. On the left sidebar, two labels are displayed next to the images: Purchase and Processing.
The Purchase label (in green) returns only scenes available for purchasing and downloading via Storage. These images originate from all types of storage: long-term archive and online archive. The available data sources that can be purchased are displayed in the table below.
| Data source |
|---|
| Pléiades |
| SPOT 6/7 |
The Processing label (in blue) returns images that can be used for downloading or further combined with a processing algorithm in workflows. These images originate from the online archive. The available data sources are displayed in the table below.
| Data source |
|---|
| Pléiades |
| SPOT 6/7 |
| Sentinel-1 |
| Sentinel-2 |
| Sentinel-3 |
| Sentinel-5 |
For Pléiades and SPOT 6/7 data sources, more images have the label Purchase than Processing, since this category includes images from the long-term archive (LTA).
Long-term archive and online archive
The differences between the long-term archive and online archive are described in the table below.
| Archive type | Description | Incidence angle | Processing level | Cloud cover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term archive | complete Pléiades and SPOT 6/7 image collection | all | Reflectance | 0-100% |
| Online archive (Living Library) | a selection of Pléiades and SPOT 6/7 images acquired less than 2 years ago | < 30° | Reflectance | < 15% (Pléiades) < 25% (SPOT 6/7) |
