Metadata from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. Sentinel-2 imagery itself is served from an account-protected store, so it is not drawn here — each pass opens in Copernicus Browser instead. Cloud percentages are scene-wide and a cloudy scene can still be clear over the corridor.
Visual products only
Analytic bands cannot be differenced across this release — pre-event is surface reflectance, post-event is TOA radiance. Only the visual products are comparable.
Cloud is not absence
Post-event cloud cover is 62–93%. Visual assets are comparable; do not difference analytic bands. Most scenes are quality_category=test.
