<abstract>
<p>Global Earth observation from satellite images is an active research topic, driven by numerous applications, such as telecommunications, defence, natural hazard monitoring and urban management. The recently launched twin Sentinel-2 satellites acquire 13-band optical data with a 2–5 day revisit time, freely available for any use, and thus very valuable for global Earth observation. In this paper, we present a completely automatic operational chain for a global cloud-free mosaic and classification of Sentinel-2 images. The proposed pipeline enables producing the world 10-m cloud-free mosaic, and a 6-class landcover classification map.</p>
