The deployment of the evolution of the Sentinel-1 operational processor and product format, subject of our news of the 09 February has been postponed. A new announcement will be made as soon as the activity will be rescheduled.

Referring to our news of 22 December 2022, we are pleased to inform of the recent start of the publication of Collection-1 products on all target DIAS infrastructures, namely CREODIAS, ONDA and MUNDI.

The publication of Collection-1 Level-1C and Level-2A products gradually follows the proceedings of the reprocessing campaign, i.e. in reverse order of sensing-time for both Sentinel-2A and -2B missions starting from December 2021.

At this date, the period from September to December 2021 is for the most part already accessible, and will continue gradually densifying as well as progressively extending towards the summer months of 2021.

It is recalled that the data availability plan on the DIAS will be routinely updated on a dedicated page, providing details on the periods published, as well as indicators on the proceedings of the reprocessing with the forthcoming periods soon to be published.

Users are invited to start making use of the gradually building long-term time-series of Collection-1 products!

An evolution of the Sentinel-1 processing baseline will be introduced on the 14th of February for all newly generated products. The highlights of the new baseline are:

• Filling potential missing data in denoising vectors for TOPS GRD products at high latitudes
• Minor evolutions of the Sentinel-1 Level-1 and Level-2 OCN product format, in line with the product format version 3.13, including:
  • Introduction of quick-looks in the Level-2 OCN products.
  • Annotation of processing variables required to ease the exploitation of L2 OSW products, allowing, for example, the processing of L2 OSW starting from L2 products (for L2 products improvements)
  • Addition of a new metadata in the Level-1 products manifest indicating the Level-0 A/C/N used for processing. The corresponding product format specifications version 3.13 are available here together with a set of corresponding Level-2 sample products.
• Use of OpenStreetMap as default coastline indicator for L2 processing

This evolution will be activated with the deployment of the new instrument processor version 3.6.0. The complete list of changes introduced by this new version is available here https://sar-mpc.eu/ipf/

Products generated after the deployment of this version will tag version 003.60 of the operational processor in the corresponding product metadata and will be aligned with the new product format specifications 3.13.

Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3A SRAL calibration, SRAL products degradation is expected for sensing time from 14/02/2023T20:35:57 to 14/02/2023T20:36:25 UTC.

Due to Copernicus Sentinel-3B Moon calibration, data will be degraded on hereafter products:

• Copernicus Sentinel-3BSLSTR: products degradation is expected for sensing time from 06/01/2023T04:32:00 to 06/01/2023T05:22:30

• Copernicus Sentinel-3B OLCI: products degradation is expected for sensing time from 06/01/2023T05:16:01 to 06/01/2023T05:22:30

• Copernicus Sentinel-3B SRAL: products degradation is expected for sensing time from 06/01/2023T04:33:00 to 06/01/2023T05:02:21

Copernicus Sentinel-1A was unavailable between 03:00 UTC and 12:41 UTC on 2 February 2023, due to a SAR reset anomaly.

No data was generated during this period.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Due to a Collision Avoidance Manoeuvre with an unknown object, the Sentinel-1A data download through the EDRS will be suspended on 31 January 2023 from 13:30:00 to 23:00:00. Three planned links will not be executed causing loss of data.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3B SRAL calibration, SRAL Products degradation is expected for sensing time from 02/02/2023T10:28:30 to 02/02/2023T10:28:56 UTC.

Due to predicted outage for Copernicus Sentinel-3B SRAL calibration,SRAL Products degradation is expected for sensing time from 30/01/2023T14:52:00 to 30/01/2023T14:54:00 UTC and from 31/01/2023T09:39:49 to 31/01/2023T09:40:16 UTC.
