I have downloaded Sentinel data from the AWS bucket on S3. How can I place this into the appropriate SAFE folder structure to run the Fmask cloud masking software (https://github.com/GERSL/Fmask)?

  • Which tool are you using for downloading the data?

  • The AWS CLI (command line interface). For example: aws s3 cp --request-payer requester s3://sentinel-s2-l1c/tiles/tiles/37/Q/ED/2017/1/12/0/B01.jp2 /path/to/my/folder/B01.jp2

    That approach will just download the files directly. I am not experienced with the AWS CLI, but the sentinelhub.aws tool has the '-e' flag (exemplified by: 'sentinelhub.aws --tile T54HVH 2017-04-14 -e') which will recreate the .SAFE format and download that.

When Sentinel-2 data is downloaded directly from the aws bucket, it comes in a digested format.
In order to recreate the .SAFE structure, a different tool should be used. The people behind storing Sentinel-2 data on AWS have created a tool set for that. The tool can found here and the key usage is as follows:

sentinelhub.aws --tile T54HVH 2017-04-14 -e

Where the -e is a flag that triggers the recreation of the .SAFE structure for the downloads.

  • "-e" apparently stands for "entire". That is, download the "entire" product in a SAFE folder structure.
