Statement:
Mosaic was generated by averaging cloud-free pixels of Sentinel-2 images, acquired from 2024-11-01 to
2025-04-01, using Google Earth Engine
[COPERNICUS/S2_HARMONIZED](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/COPERNICUS_S2_HARMONIZED)
and
[GOOGLE/CLOUD_SCORE_PLUS/V1/S2_HARMONIZED](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/GOOGLE_CLOUD_SCORE_PLUS_V1_S2_HARMONIZED)
datasets.
A 0.75 threshold was applied for filtering cloudy pixels. After the export of the tiled mosaic, tiles were
converted to 8-bit RGB rasters, using Red, Green, and Blue (B04, B03, B02), bands and Alpha-layer and
stretched between 2 and 98 percentiles of pixels values.

Contains Copernicus Sentinel-2 data 2024-2025 processed by Google Earth Engine.
