Data from ALOS AVNIR-2 and PRISM African Coverage ESA archive are available for download via ESA's ALOS Optical dedicated dissemination service and catalogue as well as via geographical search (for both AVNIR-2 and PRISM) using a static map for both PRISM and AVNIR-2.

ALOS PRISM and AVNIR-2 African Coverage products can also be discovered through ESA's EO Catalogue (EO CAT), which allows users to browse and download products among the available datasets from ESA and Third Party Missions and instruments, using various criteria (spatial, temporal).

An active ESA EO Sign In account is required to download the products.

ESA internal users can use their ESAAD account.

Description

ALOS Africa is a dataset of the best available (cloud minimal, below 10%) African coverage acquired by AVNIR-2 in OBS mode and PRISM in OB1 mode (all Backward, Nadir and Forward views, in separated products), two different collections one for each instrument. The processing level for both AVNIR-2 and PRISM products is L1B.

This dataset is a subset of the main ALOS AVNIR-2 and ALOS PRISM ESA collections.
