Since the 27th of March 2019 has the Earth Engine data catalogue one more dataset. Sentinel-2 Surface Reflectance (Level-2A) data are finally available. This blog post teaches you in one minute, how to get the current Sentinel-2 ingestion status for your region of interest.

Right now the collection "COPERNICUS/S2_SR" only has 30K out of 1M+ expected assets. We have already downloaded most of the files and will ingest the rest over the next few weeks.

Let’s check how many Level-2A images are there (worldwide) for 2017

// Javascript

var palettes = require('users/gena/packages:palettes');
var palette = palettes.colorbrewer.Spectral[11].reverse();

var data = ee.ImageCollection("COPERNICUS/S2_SR").filterDate("2017-01-01", "2017-12-31");

var img = data.reduceToImage({

    properties:['MGRS_TILE'],
    reducer: ee.Reducer.count()

});

Map.addLayer(img.updateMask(img.gt(0)), 
    {min:1, max:100, palette:palette}, 
    'S2_SR', true, 0.6);

Map.setCenter(0,5,2);

The result is the image shown below. If you would like to get the information for other years, just change the filter date numbers.
