The dataset contains full time series of satellite and radar images,
weather models and ground observations.
To keep the dataset at a reasonable size, the data covers two geographic
areas of 550km x 550km on the Mediterranean and Brittany coasts, and spans
over 3 years, 2016 to 2018.
We have prepared this free dataset to let the data science community play with it.
