Due to a ground segment anomaly on 6 June all Near Real Time Copernicus Sentinel-3B data related to orbit# 5801 Level 1 and Level 2 data belonging to sensing time 12:58:00 to 14:37:00 are delayed.
Copernicus Sentinel-1B was unavailable from 6 June 2019 at 23:09 UTC to 7 June 2019 at 07:25 UTC, due to a SAR anomaly.

Due to a scheduled power outage at the CLS data centre on 4 June 2019, some of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 SRAL NRT L1/L2 data acquired on this day are missing.

Copernicus Sentinel-3A and 3B NTC SYN products generated between 30 May 09:00 UTC and 3 June 15:00 UTC were affected by a processing problem leading to a degraded output.
The Copernicus Sentinel-3B OLCI anomaly was resolved today, after the instrument was restarted. 
 
OLCI processing resumed nominally at 12:21 UTC.

We would like to inform users that the SciHub access point of the Sentinels Open Access Hub experienced unscheduled downtimes on 30 May 2019, from:

  • 02:13 to 03:55 UTC
  • 07:26 to 07:47 UTC.

Due to an anomaly on 29 May 2019, still ongoing, Copernicus Sentinel-3B OLCI NRT/NTC and SYN L1/L2 data belonging to sensing time window starting from 15:20 UTC on 29 May are missing. Investigation into the root cause is ongoing.

Intertidal habitats can change rapidly, not just in spatial extent but also in vegetation type and cover. Newly created coastal managed realignment sites are a prime example where channels migrate and the vegetation changes from terrestrial to mud flats and saltmarshes.

Monitoring these changes is difficult due to their highly dynamic behaviour, inaccessible nature and risk of ecological damage caused by field work. Aerial photography is costly and thus usually restricted to once a year at best—however, Copernicus Sentinel data are changing things.

Most of us probably wouldn't think of describing snow in terms of its grain size. However, grain size is fundamental to the amount of sunlight that snow reflects back into space - its albedo. With both snow and albedo part of the climate system, scientists are applying a novel analytical theory to Copernicus Sentinel-3 data and shedding new light on Greenland's changing albedo.

The incident that occurred on the Data Hubs on 27 May 2019, causing a degradation of the data access services, was resolved today, at 02:00 UTC.
