Sentinel-2 Data Products

Sentinel-2 products available for users (either generated by the ground segment or by the Sentinel-2 Toolbox) are listed in the product types table.

Name	High-Level Description	Production & Distribution	Data Volume
Level-1C	Top-Of-Atmosphere reflectances in cartographic geometry	Systematic generation and online distribution	⁓600MB (each 100km x 100km2)
Level-2A	Bottom-Of-Atmosphere reflectances in cartographic geometry	Systematic and on-user side (using Sentinel-2 Toolbox)	⁓800MB (each 100km x 100km2)

Sentinel-2 product types

Products are a compilation of elementary granules of fixed size, along with a single orbit. A granule is the minimum indivisible partition of a product (containing all possible spectral bands).

For Level-1C and Level-2A, the granules, also called tiles, are 100×100 km² ortho-images in UTM/WGS84 projection. Download the Sentinel-2 tiling grid kml.

The UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 zones. Each UTM zone has a vertical width of 6° of longitude and horizontal width of 8° of latitude.
