Sentinel-1 radar imagery is now available through Tilebox, with no separate data-provider account or AWS credentials needed. Radar observes the Earth through clouds and without sunlight, giving you another source of information when optical images can’t show the surface.
That matters when conditions are changing and waiting for a clear sky isn’t practical. You can use these observations to map flooding, monitor sea ice, or investigate changes in forests and farmland. The image above shows the same area of Venice through optical and radar imagery captured on the same day.
Find imagery for your place and time of interest, then read just the area you need rather than downloading the full image.
