In this second of two videos about accessing data, Tobias Reinicke provides a more in-depth, hands-on guide to using the ESA data portal.

Please note: Since filming this video, ESA has updated the way that they package their data products for Sentinel 2. (Technical explanations can be found here. The biggest difference is that ESA is now allowing users to download single-tile products, whereas before you could only download multi-tile products, which were much larger. Data from the 1st of September 2016 onwards is available in this smaller package, so if any of you would prefer to download smaller sizes of images to work with, that is now possible.”

To login to the Sentinel 2 Pre-Operations Data Hub, linked below, please use the username and password esaopticalmooc / esaopticalmooc. (NB: this is a slight change from the instructions in the video, due to changes on the data hub made since the video was filmed).
