Sea ice is a rapidly changing phenomenon. Timely measurements over large areas, at high spatial and temporal resolutions, are fundamental for its surveillance.
The international iceberg patrol service set up after the sinking of the Titanic is now able to track drifting ice from orbit more swiftly through ESA-backed cloud computing.
Referring to the forthcoming Sentinel-2 Level-1C product format evolution, a few minor changes have been implemented in the Product Specifications Document (PSD) version 14.1 and in its accompanying sample product released on 10 October.
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellites were recently presented to potential data users and science experts in Belgium.

Calling on all interested users of Sentinel data, who would like to submit their results, turning their experiences into 'success stories'.
If you have a good story to tell, of how any of the Sentinel satellites are producing data that bring benefit to your work and/or to society, please contact the Sentinel Online Editor Malì Cecere at: mali.cecere@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
