Sentinel-2 UTM Tiling Grid: Reference for Satellite Imagery Selection

A geospatial index of the 100x100 km2 tiling grid used for Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, with unique IDs for each tile. The dataset was sourced from a third-party Git repository and is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network as a reference layer. Its last recorded update was on 2026-07-10.

Use Cases

• Locating all available Sentinel-2 imagery for a specific geographic area based on its unique tile ID.
• Planning remote sensing studies of coastal or marine environments, such as reef systems, by identifying relevant tiles.
• Referencing the spatial footprint of publicly available Sentinel-2 data tiles for data management and cataloging.

Strengths

• References the specific Sentinel-2 satellite system, which captures imagery in 13 spectral bands.
• Specifies the tile grid size of 100x100 km2 and the satellite's 290 km field of view.
• Provides a concrete last updated timestamp of 2026-07-10 19:33:04.922626.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
