How to Access Data

Users can freely access the collection using the below links and will be requested to login (new users shall register) to ESA EO Sign In to download the products.

ESA internal users can use their ESAAD account.

The products are available for download via the following interfaces:

ESA EO Multimission Catalogue (EO CAT) Allows users to discover and search products among the available datasets from ESA and Third Party Missions and instruments, using various criteria (spatial, temporal, specific).

ESA Third Party Missions (TPM) dedicated dissemination service and catalogue The data is collection based and allows data browse and download through the treeview as well as via geographical catalogue search based on area of interest and metadata.

Description

The JERS-1 Optical System (OPS) is composed of a Very Near Infrared Radiometer (VNIR) and a Short Wave Infrared Radiometer (SWIR). The instrument has 8 observable spectral bands from visible to short wave infrared.

Data acquired by ESA ground stations

The JERS-1 OPS products are available in GeoTIFF format. These products are available only for the VNIR sensor. All four bands are corrected. The correction consists in a vertical and horizontal destriping, the radiometry values are expanded from the range [0.63] to the range [0.255]. No geometrical correction is applied on level 1. The pixel size of approximately 18 x 24.2 metres for raw data is newly dimensioned to 18 x 18 metres for System Corrected data using a cubic convolution algorithm.

Disclaimer:

Cloud coverage for JERS OPS products has not been computed using an algorithm. The cloud cover assignment was performed manually by operators at the acquisition stations.
Due to missing attitude information, the Nadir looking band (band 3) and the corresponding forward looking band (band 4) are not well coregistered, resulting in some accuracy limitations.
The quality control was not performed systematically for each frame. A subset of the entire JERS Optical dataset was selected and manually checked. As a result of this, users may occasionally encounter issues with some of the individual products.
