The issue affecting the bulk download service on the ESAR OADS i.e. the ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data dissemination tool has been fixed, and the bulk ordering feature resumed.

An urgent maintenance activity has been started at 17:00 CET on the OADS system, affecting the ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data dissemination via the On-The-Fly (OTF) infrastructure.

The former version (v7.11) of the Envisat MIPAS Level 1b dataset (MIP_NL__1P) will be removed from the ESA dissemination server at the end of January 2020.

The Greenland ice sheet is losing mass seven times faster than in the 1990s, according to new research.

• From 10:00 to 13:00 CET - ERS and Envisat dissemination service
• From 15:00 to 16:00 CET - TPM data dissemination

Due to a software maintenance on Wednesday 30 October, the following downtimes are scheduled:

• ERS and Envisat dissemination service: from 09:00 to 11:00 CET
• SMOS data dissemination service: from 11:00 to 13:00 CET.

A software maintenance affecting the On-The-Fly (OTF) Third Party Missions (TPM) and ERS / Envisat (A)SAR data dissemination services has been planned according to the following schedule:

• ERS and Envisat dissemination service: 3 October from 09:00 to 11:00 CEST
• TPM dissemination service: 3 October from 11:00 to 14:00 CEST.

Due to a scheduled maintenance on the OTF infrastructure, access to the ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data collections on the Simple Online Catalogue (SO-Cat) dissemination tool will be unavailable on Thursday 29 August 2019 from 09:00 to 11:30 CEST.

We are all aware of the ebb and flow of the tide every day, but understanding tidal flow is important for a range of maritime activities and environmental monitoring, such as search and rescue operations, shipping routes and coastal erosion.

A software maintenance affecting the On-The-Fly (OTF) Third Party Missions (TPM) and ERS / Envisat (A)SAR data dissemination services has been planned for Wednesday.
