Sentinel-2 L2A archive going global

For those interested in an update on this one:

  • the data are processed back to March 2018
  • Ruben from Vito has warned us about the Sen2Cor issue in areas without SRTM (below and above 60 degrees) and we have excluded these from further processing. We will deal with that later.
  • it seems that the processing consumed much of the available resources at AWS (eu-central-1 region) and the price of the spot instances was going up quite a bit (see below). This impacted our plans quite a bit as our budget is limited. We have now stopped the process a bit, waiting for price to go down, after which we will restart it with a bit lower capacity. So it might take a bit more, a week or two perhaps.
