radiometric and geometric corrections including ortho-rectification and spatial registration on a<br />

global reference system with sub-pixel accuracy to facilitate multi-temporal data exploitation.<br />

The MSI Level-1C product will provide Top-Of-Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance measurements<br />

with all metadata necessary to convert it in radiances. The Level-0 consolidation and Level-1<br />

data-processing steps are based on the GPP algorithms [RD-31].<br />

Level-0 consolidation will append all necessary metadata for Level-0 data long-term archiving<br />

and upper level processing.<br />

Level-1 processing includes the three-step processing to generate Level-1A, Level-1B and<br />

Level-1C data starting from the consolidated Level-0 data. These three levels correspond<br />

respectively to the S2MSI1A, S2MSI1B and S2MSI1C data-products baselined in section 4.4.<br />

The accommodation of the processing workflow defined for the GPP into the distributed<br />

<strong>PDGS</strong> operational context has nevertheless required a careful analysis (cf. [RD-30]) of the<br />

specific constraints imposed by the Level-1 algorithm (cf. section 4.3.9) to provide<br />

systematically and globally the products with a guaranteed timeliness and quality.<br />

This section provides an outline of the operational Level-0 consolidation and Level-1<br />

processing approach adapted for the <strong>PDGS</strong>. After an outline description of the algorithm<br />

logic, the context of Level-1 processing in the distributed <strong>PDGS</strong> will be presented followed by<br />

the main adaptation made in accommodating the processing workflow defined for the GPP as<br />

justified by [RD-30].<br />

4.5.4.5.1 Level-0 Consolidation and Level-1 Processing Logic<br />

The <strong>PDGS</strong> Level-0 consolidation and Level-1 processing breakdown is based on the<br />

<strong>Sentinel</strong>-2 GPP algorithm (cf. [RD-31]). The processing workflow from instrument raw data<br />

(Instrument Source Packets, ISPs) to Level-1C data is depicted on Figure 4-23. The<br />

processing sequence is decomposed in the following steps:<br />

Level-0 Consolidation Processing<br />

o Level-0 Viewing Model Initialisation (performed within the GPP by the Init_Loc_Inv<br />

IAS). This processing step computes the viewing model for the generation of the<br />

preliminary quicklook.<br />

o Preliminary Quick-Look Processing (performed within the GPP by the Init_Loc_Inv<br />

IAS). This includes the preliminary quick-look (PQL) resampling and the computation<br />

of ancillary data for consolidated Level-0 product.<br />

o Preliminary Cloud Mask Processing (performed within the GPP by the Cloud_Inv<br />

IAS). This processing step generates the cloud mask from the preliminary quicklook<br />

based on spectral criteria.<br />

o Preliminary Quick-Look Compression (performed within the GPP by the<br />

JP2KCompression IAS). Performs the compression of the preliminary quick-look.<br />

Level-1A Processing<br />

o Level-1 Viewing Model Initialisation (performed within the GPP by the Init_Loc_Prod<br />

IAS). This processing step computes the viewing model that will be used to initialize<br />

Level-1B processing.<br />
