How sure is this?

The strongest area (#1) has 86% confidence. It appears in 6 of 6 later clear images, so it is not a one-day artefact. Radar confirmed some of these areas; the others rest on optical and seasonal evidence. Compared with the same season in earlier years, this is clearly unusual. Confidence measures how strong the evidence for real surface change is; it does not identify the cause or who did it.

How it was measured

SCOPE used Sentinel-2 optical imagery at 10 m, cloud-masked and combined over each period; Sentinel-1 radar, which sees through cloud, as an independent check; the same season in 2019, 2018, so normal seasonal change is not reported as real change. The whole analysis took 14 seconds.
