Restless Kilauea

15 June 2018

Fiery lava continues to pour from the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island. These Copernicus Sentinel-2 images from 23 May, 07 June and 12 June 2018 show the relentless flow of lava and clouds of ash. This is an update of the Hawaii lava flow animation published on 08 June.

Infrastructure maintenance activities are scheduled on the Data Hubs from 12:00 UTC on 18 June to 10:00 UTC on 19 June 2018.

The campaign for republishing the Sentinel-2A L1C products from their historical format into the 'Complete Single Tile' format continues. Further publications will be made available starting on 15 June 2018.
Due to an issue on the Sentinel 3 Ground Segment, the Sentinel-3A NRT data acquired on orbit 12077, 12 June 2018 from 15:24:06 UTC to 17:03:52 are delayed.
The Sentinel-3A data acquired on orbits 12012 and 12013 on 08 June 2018 from 03:39 to 05:53 UTC, delayed due to a ground segment anomaly, has been successfully recovered.

The European Union's Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites are supplying unprecedented views of Earth, mainly providing information for agricultural and forestry practices and helping to manage food security. But how are they making a difference to farmers in particular?

In a major collaborative effort, scientists from around the world have used information from satellites to reveal that ice melting in Antarctica has not only raised sea levels by 7.6 mm since 1992, but, critically, almost half of this rise has occurred in the last five years.
Due to a Ground Segment anomaly, the Sentinel-3A NRT/STC/NTC data acquired on orbits 12012 and 12013 on 08 June 2018 from 03:39 to 05:53 UTC is delayed.
Copernicus Sentinel-2 images from 23 May and 07 June 2018 show changes in lava flow from the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island.

The amount of carbon stored in Earth's forests and how it is changing will be measured in the forthcoming Climate Change Initiative Biomass project, in which the legacy of GlobBiomass will be carried forward to the Sentinels' era.
