An area
You draw it, or you upload it.
Data
Public archives, read for one area.
AID does not sell imagery. It reads Copernicus, Landsat, Hansen, ESA CCI, and Dynamic World for the area you draw, then runs the analysis.
The archive
AID reads the public source that matches the analysis.
The result
A map, the numbers, and a technical report for that area.
Radar
Sentinel-1
C-band radar from Copernicus. AID uses it for radar backscatter, InSAR, and the Sentinel-1 time series.
Optical
Sentinel-2
Optical imagery from Copernicus. AID uses it for land cover, land-cover change, and carbon sequestration.
Landsat 8 and 9
Optical and thermal imagery. AID uses surface temperature for urban heat, from 2015.
Dynamic World
A land-cover classification built with Sentinel-2. AID uses it for the land-cover map.
Atmosphere
Sentinel-5P
Atmospheric measurements of CO, NO2, CH4, and aerosols. This is air, not water.
Forest reference
Hansen Global Forest Change
Forest loss and gain, 2000–2024. AID uses it in the REDD+ screening.
ESA CCI biomass
Aboveground biomass, annual maps through 2022. AID uses it for biomass, carbon, and the REDD+ screening.
Technical report
Each archive above is used by an analysis you can run. The report summarises the ones already run in a session.
