Due to a Copernicus Sentinel-3B SLSTR instrument special operation scheduled on 30 March, the IR channels may be degraded during the overall duration of the maintenance lasting 3 hours and 22 minutes. As a consequence of that all the SLSTR/SYN user products may be degraded from UTC sensing time 10:50 to 14:12 on 30 March.

Due to a planned Copernicus Sentinel-3A spacecraft manoeuvre, executed on 11 March, all the SLSTR and SRAL user products could be degraded in the following UTC sensing time intervals:

• SLSTR from 08:50 to 11:32
• SRAL from 09:01 to 09:37

The ESA Atmospheric Validation Data Center (EVDC) has been updated, introducing new tools and upgrading existing functionalities for the exploitation of users interested in accessing both Cal/Val data and satellite products for specific missions.

An update of the Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) operation system is planned for 11 March.

Due to an issue that occurred at the PDGS level on 2 March 2020, Copernicus Sentinel-3B data are delayed.
