In the context of the EO Science for Society Programme Element, the European Space Agency is organising ATMOS 2018, a conference on the topical theme Atmosphere aimed at exploiting data from ESA and EO Missions for science and application development.

If you are interested in submitting a paper for the conference, please note that the deadline is 15 August 2018.

Due to a scheduled maintenance, access to the On-The-Fly (OTF) Online Dissemination System (OADS) for the ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data, will be unavailable on Tuesday 22 May 2018 from 8:30 to 14:30 CEST.

Following the resolution of the problem which occurred yesterday, the OTF data processing has now been resumed.

Due to the unexpected technical problems, the ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data processing is temporarily unavailable on the OTF infrastructure. The EOLI-SA Catalogue OTF collections can be searched, but the products cannot be downloaded.

Our teams are working to resolve this issue; the OTF service is expected to be resumed on Friday 04 May 2018 around noon.

Due to a scheduled maintenance, access to the On-The-Fly (OTF) Online Dissemination System (OADS) for the ERS and Envisat (A)SAR data will be unavailable during the following time frame:

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.
