Using satellite remote sensing data for observing vegetation seasonality is an important
approach to estimate phenology and carbon uptake of land vegetation. The successful
launch of Sentinel-2B in 2017 initiated full operation of the Sentinel-2 twin satellites, and

Abstract
Using satellite remote sensing data for observing vegetation seasonality is an important approach to estimate phenology and carbon uptake of land vegetation. The successful launch of Sentinel-2B in 2017 initiated full operation of the Sentinel-2 twin satellites, and they now provide 10-60 m spatial resolution satellite data at 5 days temporal resolution worldwide, releasing approximately 3.2 TB of image data per day. With Sentinel-2's huge amount of high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution data, Earth observation is facing new opportunities and challenges.
