Maximizing Earth Science Observations with Data Harmonization: Harmonized Landsat/Sentinel-2

In August 2021, NASA released science quality harmonized Landsat/Sentinel-2 products for both cloud-based access and direct download from the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC). These 30-meter products, HLSS30 (Sentinel-2 component) and HLSL30 (Landsat component) are placed on the same grid and are generated and distributed fully in the cloud. Similarly, ESA is prototyping harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 products at 10-meter resolution. The data production and science teams from NASA and ESA will present technical details on the data production system, data product status and availability, and the benefit of harmonizing instruments with similar sensing characteristics between the agencies.
