Sentinel Satellite Imagery Download Scripts

These Python scripts download Sentinel 1 & 2 imagery for the user defined study site areas of interest (AOI). The semi-automated script iterates through a systematic file structure, reads in geospatial bounds of AOIs for each study site, and accesses Copernicus Data Base Ecosystem using the European Space Agency's Open Earth Observation system. The script then queries this system for available satellite imagery within each study site AOI, determines whether the imagery has been previously downloaded to the local systematic file structure, then downloads any novel imagery along with adjoining metadata. The interactive script iterates across a user defined date range and downloads imagery for a single study site using the same processes. Both scripts must be run manually from a python terminal and require that the user provide their Copernicus Data Base Ecosystem login credentials by using a link that will appear in the python terminal.
