How do I configure FTPS scripts to download data from ESA dissemination services?
As part of security improvements, access to several data repositories on the ESA Dissemination Services, such as the Envisat MERIS and SMOS services, have changed from simple FTP to FTPS.
Showcasing Earth Explorer success stories from around the world
The Earth Explorers programme consists of a series of satellites that share the common goal of advancing Earth science by helping answer principal scientific questions through observation of Earth’s key systems.
Maintenance on data Dissemination Services on 18 and 19 July 2024
A software maintenance has been scheduled on Thursday 18 July 2024 from 08:30 to 14:30 UTC impacting the specific Data Dissemination Systems.
Workshop demonstrates benefits of soil moisture data validation tool
Soil moisture scientists had the opportunity to train with an ESA validation service at a recent workshop. The tool, which is highly rated by the CEOS Working Group on Calibration and Validation, provides valuable support for validating data.

SMOS data distribution resumed
SMOS data distribution to end users was resumed on 12 March 2024 after confirmation of the adequate quality of the current data.
SMOS data outage since 22 February 2024
SMOS went into safe mode on 22 February 2024 at 05:10 UTC for reasons that are still under investigation.
New reanalysis dataset impacts SMOS Level 3 and 4 sea ice thickness
On 24 January 2024 the JRA55 reanalysis dataset was terminated and updated with the Japanese Reanalysis for Three Quarters of a Century.
Space data support Earth’s ecosystems
ESA’s Earth observation (EO) missions are making a critical contribution to monitoring transformations in our planet’s ecosystems, helping track changes in the vegetation, soil, and ocean that affect these systems.
Highlighting the value of SMOS data in space weather applications
Data from ESA’s SMOS mission are driving many space weather applications, ranging from air navigation, characterisation of solar flares, space weather modelling and ionospheric electron content mapping.
