Vegetation phenology from Sentinel-2 and field cameras for a Dutch barrier island

Remote sensing studies of vegetation phenology increasingly benefit from freely available satellite imageryacquired with high temporal frequency at fine spatial resolution. Particularly for heterogeneous landscapes thisis good news, given the drawback of medium-resolution sensors commonly used for phenology retrieval (e.g.,MODIS) to properly represent the fine-scale spatial variability of vegetation types. The Sentinel-2 mission acquiresspectral data globally at 10 to 60m resolution every five days. To illustrate the mission's potential forstudying vegetation phenology, we retrieved phenologic...
