Titel: Wasting petabytes: A survey of the Sentinel-2 UTM tiling grid and its spatial overhead, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster

Autoren: Bernhard Bauer-Marschallinger and Konstantin Falkner

Highlights:

• We scrutinise the geometry of zones and tiles of the Sentinel-2 UTM tiling grid.
• UTM-MGRS’s grid-inherent overlaps inflate global land remote sensing datasets by 33%.
• E.g. yearly Sentinel-2 Level-1C/-2A product volume is increased from 3 to 4 petabytes.
• Data increase scales up hardware/energy costs, from dissemination to user application.
