The Bulk Dissemination service on ESAR OADS is currently unavailable. Work is ongoing to solve the issue.

A software maintenance affecting the On-The-Fly (OTF) Third Party Missions (TPM) and ALOS PALSAR online dissemination services has been planned according to the following schedule:

• 09:30 to 10:30 CET - ALOS dissemination service
• 10:30 to 11:30 CET - TPM dissemination service.

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.

Due to a planned OADS system maintenance, the following downtimes are foreseen on 20 January:

• esar-ds.eo.esa.int from 9:00 CET (estimated downtime 80 minutes)
• alos-palsar-ds.eo.esa.int from 10:30 CET (estimated downtime 15 minutes)
• aeolus-ds.eo.esa.int from 11:00 CET (estimated downtime 2 minutes)
• tpm-ds.eo.esa.int from 11:05 CET (estimated downtime 5 minutes).

The issue affecting the ESA EO Catalogue (EO CAT) data search has been solved; all the collections are now visible, and the relevant filters can be selected nominally.

Due to technical issues, the data search feature and relevant filters are temporarily disabled on the new ESA EO Catalogue (EO CAT).

Abstract submission is now open for the EO for agriculture under pressure workshop, which will take place from 25 to 29 May 2020 at ESA-ESRIN in Frascati, Italy.

The deadline for abstract submission is 21 February 2020.

A scheduled software maintenance activity will affect the SMOS data dissemination service on Thursday 16 January 2020, from 09:30 to 10:30 CET.

There will be no access to the SMOS collections during the indicated downtime.

The EO for Polar Science Workshop will be held at the Tivoli Congress Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 17 to 19 June 2020.

We would like to inform Swarm data users that an improved version of EEF Level-2 product (version 0202) is now available.
