Records show that, on average, global sea level rose by 3.2 mm a year between 1993 and 2018, but hidden within this average is the fact that the rate of rise has been accelerating over the last few years. Taking measurements of the height of the sea surface is essential to monitoring this worrying trend – and the Copernicus Sentinel-6 mission is on the way to being ready to do just this.
A corrective maintenance to fix a problem on the Copernicus Open Access Hub, caused a service interruption on 11 April from 09:59 to 11:35 UTC.
Due to an issue at Ground Segment level on 5 April 2019, following Near Real Time/Short Time Critical and Non Time critical Copernicus Sentinel-3A data have been missed:
All Copernicus Sentinel-2A products related to orbit 19751 with sensing time between 06:50:06 and 07:52:24 UTC on 4 April are affected by a considerable geolocation inaccuracy due to a collision avoidance manoeuvre, which was executed between 06:23:05 and 08:22:17.
NO2 data from Copernicus Sentinel-5P are now processed with an improved processor (version 01.03.00).
ESA informs users of the publication of the Sentinel-3 Annual Performance Reports for the year 2018.
The reports are available in the relevant document library:
A direct link to the reports is also available from the 'Key Resources' portlet.
Users are informed that the core data hub centre experienced a network incident on 27 March 2019 between 10:10 and 11:00 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.
