We are pleased to announce the upcoming start of the geometric refinement for Copernicus Sentinel-2 products. The goal of this evolution is to improve the multi-temporal co-registration and the absolute geolocation accuracy of the products, by using a Global Reference Image (GRI) as source of Ground Control Points (GCPs) to constrain the geometric model of the images.
Following the announcement on 8 March, please note that:
Due to an issue occurring at PDGS level, the Near Real Time Copernicus Sentinel-3 SRAL NRT and STC Level 1 and Level 2 products starting from approximate sensing time 18:28 UTC on 18 March 2021 will be missed or delayed.
As a consequence of a contingency held at ground network level, the nominal availability of Copernicus Sentinel-2 Level-2A products was prevented on 13 March.
The monitoring of frozen river break-ups at high latitudes is a daunting task, where hazards such as flooding and infrastructure damage can occur in mere days and are difficult to forecast— the monitoring from space of how river ice break-ups unfold and progress could help mitigation efforts, create data for reanalysis and aid hazard assessments.
Following popular demand from the Sentinel-3 user community, ESA are now providing Copernicus Sentinel-3 SLSTR Level 3 composite products for the Land Surface Temperature (LST) Level 2 products. Daily and monthly composites are provided.
As previously reported, a major incident occurred on a data centre providing data access infrastructure services on 10 March 2021, which led to a temporary interruption of new data from Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 and the temporary interruption of historical data access (from more than a year ago).
As previously reported, a major incident occurred on a data centre providing data access infrastructure services led to the temporal interruption of the publication of fresh Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 data on 10 March 2021 01:10 UTC.
An incident occurred on 10 March 2021 at 01:00 UTC on the infrastructure hosting the data access services.

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.
