- The page says its demo squares are illustrative, not real satellite data, and that the model can look back to 2017.
Field notes
The described pipeline combines a year of Sentinel-2 observations before classifying 10-metre pixels, with the annual median intended to reduce cloud, haze, and some tidal effects. The page names Jubail Island, the Eastern Mangroves, and Khor Kalba as training locations and says the model is tested on labelled examples it has not seen. Its demo is explicitly illustrative; the page does not establish that real mapped results are currently available.
