On 21 November 2018, a new Processing Baseline (02.11) will be deployed for Copernicus Sentinel-2 Level-2A products.

Beginning in June 2017 in Indonesia and Malaysia, where development of palm oil plantations is a strong driver of tropical deforestation, the Starling service aims to provide a reliable and near real-time monitoring tool, in order to help companies all across the food supply chain to achieve their 'no deforestation' commitment.

Due to a major issue occurring at Collaborative Groud Segment level on 13 November, Copernicus Sentinel-3A SLSTR NRT data starting from orbit 14269 to 14271 have been missed or delayed (sensing time from 13-11-T10:18 to 15:30 UT).

Copernicus Sentinel-3A SRAL NRT data could be delayed.

Since the 11 of November 2018, the Copernicus S3 Altimetry data products [STC timeliness] are generated with new POE-F standard orbit products.

We are pleased to inform you that the Sentinel-3A STM L1 & L2 data set has been reprocessed with the Processing Baseline 2.33 over the time periods:

• SRAL Level 1: 01 March 2016 09:20:17 UTC – 01 February 2018 00:14:58 UTC
• SRAL Level 2: 01 March 2016 13:42:43 UTC – 10 April 2018 00:01:56 UTC.

As a consequence of different contingencies at ground segment level, the availability in the Data Hubs of several Sentinel-2 products with sensing time between 30 October morning and 02 November morning is delayed.

Spring floods occur when snow melts over large areas in short time periods, often combined with rain-so-called rain-on-snow events that add water, further intensifying snow melt. As their name suggests, such floods typically occur in spring - except for a few weeks ago, when Southern Norway was struck with this phenomenon.

The Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite has been providing data on carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone since July, and now other polluting nasties such as sulphur dioxide and formaldehyde have joined the list of data products available to monitor the air we breathe.

As part of a scientific collaboration with the Mexican Space Agency and other Mexican scientific public entities, ESA has combined images from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission to produce a detailed view of the different types of vegetation growing across the entire country.

A team of experts from the French institutes IFREMER and CLS recently implemented a strategy with ESA, in order to acquire Sentinel-1 images over tropical cyclones, while developing an algorithm that enables the extraction of hurricane characteristics at a very high resolution from space. Information such as the ocean surface wind field provided at 1 km resolution could trigger perspectives for improving hurricane forecast information.
