Due to two Copernicus Sentinel-3B collision avoidance manoeuvres executed on 10 October reduced data quality is expected in the following sensing UTC time intervals:
Due to a Copernicus Sentinel-3A spacecraft manoeuvre performed on 15 October, data degradation is expected for both SRAL and SLSTR instruments.
All the related NRT/STC/NCT user products are degraded from 06:15 to 06:45 UTC.
Due to a planned Copernicus Sentinel-3B manoeuvre executed on 16 October reduced data quality is expected in the following UTC sensing times:
An expansion of the observation scenarios will be available on 20 October for Copernicus Sentinel-2A, and 23 October for Copernicus Sentinel-2B. The following new areas will be included:
Seasonal wetlands are common in Mediterranean climates. They flood during rainy seasons in autumn and winter and dry-up in summer. Precipitation changes in these areas have profound effects on the dynamics of wetlands, affecting plants and animals that inhabit them. These wetlands can suffer changes in their hydrology, becoming transformed into permanent lakes or completely drying-up—but Copernicus Sentinels are making a difference.
Due to a scheduled maintenance on the Copernicus Sentinel-3B satellite on 26 September all payloads were passivated and no science data were generated during the following time sensing window:
A Danish R&D project is developing an automatic sea ice product service, which can meet the increased demands for better and more timely sea ice information, using the extensive amount of free and available data from the Copernicus Sentinel satellites, along with novel machine learning techniques for satellite data fusion and sea-ice information retrieval.
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.
