NIMBO HD 2.5 m
Overview
Monthly 2.5 m RGB basemaps generated by super-resolution from NIMBO 10 m Sentinel-2 mosaics. Production is worldwide, with cloud-affected areas potentially awaiting production; coverage must be checked for the requested area and edition.
Inspect finer visual detail in monthly imagery enhanced by super-resolution.
Service: Available. Check coverage for your area. Access and usage rights depend on your plan.

Resolution
2.5 m
Nominal product grid. Resolution kind: Super-resolution.
Source grids
10 m
Nominal grid of the input NIMBO mosaic, not the native resolution of a 2.5 m satellite sensor.
Served pixel spacing
Variable with zoom and latitude · EPSG:3857
Ground spacing of served pixels varies with zoom and latitude. Tile dimensions and zoom limits are listed under Technical services; they do not establish native source resolution or accuracy.

Upstream datasets:
Method and interpretation
The monthly synthesis interpolates the available and usable Sentinel-2 acquisitions, taking cloud coverage into account, to represent conditions as close as possible to the 15th of the represented month. The 15th is a synthesis target, not the acquisition date of every pixel.
Update frequency
Monthly
Monthly editions have an operational publication target of the 15th of the following month. Delays of up to two weeks can occur. This is not a contractual guarantee or evidence that an edition has actually been published.
The represented month, source acquisition dates, actual publication date and last observation date are distinct. A target publication date does not confirm that an edition has been released. The catalogue export timestamp is not a product acquisition, publication, revision or verification date.
Available layers
- RGB (2.5 m)
- HD Confidence (Enterprise on request)
Confidence is available on request to Enterprise customers. It is not a standard included or self-service layer. Confirm delivery methods, coverage and available editions with NIMBO. The score definition, calibration and interpretation thresholds have not been confirmed.
Geographic coverage
Global
NIMBO HD production is worldwide. Some areas with excessive cloud cover may be awaiting production. Worldwide production does not guarantee every area in every edition; confirm the requested area and month.
Coverage can differ by layer and edition. Successful samples do not prove complete local coverage.

A service check date is not a source acquisition date or a dataset revision.
Ask KERMAP for version and acquisition metadata for your area.
The policy for reprocessing past editions, changing data at an unchanged URL and retaining revision history has not been specified. Confirm the edition and revision before comparing archive data.
The HD processing-version chronology does not establish that older editions were reprocessed with the current version.

- Map streaming: Rendered map tiles or images.
TMS and WMTS provide access to map tiles. Tile access does not authorize bulk downloading or redistribution. File delivery, including GeoTIFF/COG availability, requires confirmation for the requested product and area.
WMS rendered-image responses were observed on 2026-09-30. Current WMS access conditions depend on your offer and require confirmation with NIMBO.

Service checks and limitations
Checked:
Rendered map tiles. TMS rows count from the south: yTMS = 2^z - 1 - yXYZ. Zooms 0–18 are advertised; a listed zoom or layer does not guarantee a non-empty tile for every location and date. Some zoom-0 requests exceeded the 20-second audit timeout.

Limitations
The 2.5 m grid is produced by super-resolution from the 10 m mosaic, not a native 2.5 m acquisition. Model details and measured radiometric performance have not been supplied. Reconstructed small objects require independent validation before analytical use.
No published benchmark currently establishes relative loading speed or performance against competing services.
- The 2.5 m output is generated by super-resolution from the NIMBO 10 m mosaic; it is not a native 2.5 m sensor acquisition.
- Small objects, narrow boundaries and fine structures should be validated before measurement, object-level evidence or automated decisions.
- An advertised layer and a successful sample do not establish complete coverage of an area. The service checks used one account and selected locations.
