Users are informed that a minor update on Sentinel-2 L2A products is going to be implemented to optimise the encoding of the quality bands (SCL, CLD, SNW, PVI, TCI) over 8 bits instead of 16 bits, in line with the Sentinel-2 L1C products.
Infrastructure maintenance activities are scheduled on:
Making landfall in the US state of North Carolina on 14 September, Hurricane Florence is causing widespread damage and flooding. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar mission is being used to map affected areas.
An innovative data analytics company in France is using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites to help track crude oil storage worldwide, bringing transparency to the energy markets.
Due to decontamination activities of the Sentinel-3 SLSTR instrument, production of data from 13 to 19 September 2018 will be affected.
Due to a planned spacecraft manoeuvre on Sentinel-3A on 29 August 2018 all NRT/NTC/STC OLCI and SRAL user products could be degraded from sensing time 07:38 to 08:13 UTC. NRT/NTC SLSTR user products could be degraded from sensing time 07:38 to 08:47 UTC.
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.
