Researchers from the University of Oslo processed and analysed data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite, which spotted an unusual number of recent avalanches in Svalbard.

In the framework of service scalability improvements, an extraordinary infrastructure maintenance will occur on the Data Hubs on Wednesday 30 November 2016 from 15:30 CET to 16:45 CET.

A routine Sentinel-3 in-plane manoeuvre is scheduled on 01 December 2016 from 07:53 to 08:06 UTC.

Reduced data quality should be expected for all Sentinel-3 data products sensed during this period.

Referring to the Sentinel-2 Level-1C products format evolution described in the news of 5 August, and further to the introduction on 21 September of the products distribution in single-tile packages, ESA is pleased to announce that the new products will start being distributed according to the final format subject of this evolution starting on Tuesday 6 December.

As a consequence of a data dissemination anomaly, Sentinel-2A Level-1C products have not been published in the data hubs since Saturday 26 November 2016.

The anomaly was promptly resolved and publishing on the Sentinel data hubs has now restarted.

The Sentinel-1 satellites have shown that the Millennium Tower skyscraper in the centre of San Francisco is sinking by a few centimetres a year. Studying the city is helping scientists to improve the monitoring of urban ground movements, particularly for subsidence hotspots in Europe.

Sentinel-1A unavailability

25 November 2016

A Sentinel-1A satellite unavailability occurred between 24 November 2016 20:38 UTC and 25 November 2016 11:34 UTC.

No SAR data were acquired during this period.

The new version of Sen2Cor, 2.3.0, has been released and is now available for download.
The Open Science Earth Observation (OSEO) call for using the innovation platform in Poland is open. The OSEO call offers scientists the opportunity to exploit, at no cost, the full archive of optical EO data, in particular from Sentinel-2, using a dedicated cloud computing infrastructure for science, applications and technological innovation.

On 20 October 2016, the first operational data from the Copernicus Sentinel-3's Ocean and Land Colour Instrument were made available to users worldwide.
