Following the successful LPVE 2014, the European Space Agency (ESA) is inviting scientists and Cal/Val experts to present the latest results from their on-going research at the 2018 Workshop on Land Product Validation and Evolution (LPVE 2018).

The abstract submission deadline has been extended to 30 November 2017.

A new, long-term and global dataset of soil moisture measurements from space has been released to help us better understand the water cycle and climate, monitor agriculture and manage our water resources.

Due to a planned maintenance activity, the On-The-Fly (OTF) collections in EOLI-SA may not be available on Monday 02 October 2017 from 14:00 to 16:00 CEST.

The ERS-2 Scatterometer Level 2.0 reprocessed dataset has now been enriched with ASPS products and converted into NetCDF format for both nominal (25 Km grid space) and high (12.5 Km grid space) resolution.

Due to an urgent maintenance activity, the EOLI-SA On-The-Fly (OTF) ERS-1/2 SAR_IMS collection will be unavailable from Thursday 13 July 2017 at 16:00 CEST until 09:00 CEST on Friday morning, 14 July.
