    NAME  DESCRIPTION PRODUCT LEVEL
    Bottom of Atmosphere (BOA) reflectance

    This is radiometric, geometric, and atmospheric (aerosol and water vapour) corrected BOA reflectance data. The image is orthorectified and projected to WGS84 projection. The data is available in a geoTIFF file format (accompanied by additional metadata).

    The pixel reflectance values are linearly scaled between 0 - 50000. Thus to convert the image to 0-1 reflectance range, all the pixel values must be divided by 50000.

    		 L2A
    Top of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance

    This is radiometric, and geometric corrected TOA reflectance data. The image is orthorectified and projected to WGS84 projection. The data is available in a geoTIFF file format (accompanied by additional metadata).

    The pixel reflectance values are linearly scaled between 0 - 50000. Thus to convert the image to 0-1 reflectance range, all the pixel values must be divided by 50000.

    Product Metadata:

    Each of the image products contains an image file in GeoTIFF format, an RGB composite thumbnail of the image in JPEG format, a footprint, and a bounding box in GeoJSON format.
