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

Due to a scheduled maintenance, access to the OADS-OTF online dissemination systems for ERS / Envisat data and Third Party Missions (TPM) datasets will be unavailable on Monday 18 November 2019 during the following time frames:

• 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.

The Precise Orbit files (ERS.ORB.POD) for the entire ERS-1 and ERS-2 mission periods have been reprocessed with up-to-date standards and is now available to users on the ESA dissemination server upon fast registration.

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.

The reprocessing campaign for the ERS-1 Scatterometer Level 2 products has been completed adopting the latest Advanced Scatterometer Processing System (ASPS) version 10.04.  The reprocessed dataset is now accessible to users together with the corresponding ERS-2 data on the ESA dissemination server and is provided through ESA fast registration.
