An unavoidable maintenance activity on the core infrastructure hosting the data hub service, involving replacement of switches interconnecting the servers to the rolling archive storage, is scheduled from 13:30 UTC on Monday 5 November to 11:00 UTC on 6 November 2018.
Spring floods occur when snow melts over large areas in short time periods, often combined with rain-so-called rain-on-snow events that add water, further intensifying snow melt. As their name suggests, such floods typically occur in spring - except for a few weeks ago, when Southern Norway was struck with this phenomenon.
A routine decontamination activity of the Copernicus Sentinel-2B MSI is planned to take place over a continuous period of 24-hours between 12:00 UTC on 12 November and 12:00 on 13 November (corresponding approximately to the period between absolute orbits 8801 to 8815).
ESA is pleased to inform users of the forthcoming update of Copernicus Sentinel-2 L1C and L2A products featuring an improved data quality.
A team of experts from the French institutes IFREMER and CLS recently implemented a strategy with ESA, in order to acquire Sentinel-1 images over tropical cyclones, while developing an algorithm that enables the extraction of hurricane characteristics at a very high resolution from space. Information such as the ocean surface wind field provided at 1 km resolution could trigger perspectives for improving hurricane forecast information.
