ESA is pleased to announce the availability of the first set of Sentinel-1A simulated sample products for GMES users.
GMES users already accessing data in the CDS via FTP will see these sample products under the SENTINEL1 folder using the GSPatCI account; if no access to CDS was required so far, a request to access the Sentinel-1A products should be sent to the SCI via ticketing system (accessible to GMES registered users, see the CDS Tools section).
Information on these sample products is available here.

Following the upgrade of the CDS infrastructure at the end of last year and the progressive opening of the functionality, users are now requested to submit all orders for new or archived data within standard non-emergency datasets using the “off-line mapping” interface available from their personal area.
Detailed instructions for the use of the tool are available at the CDS Tools page, under "EO data ordering" section. The on-line ordering functionality replaces the use of the SPDRF.

13 March 2013

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Coordinated Quality Control (CQC) Catalogue search form where a GMES user can search for/download quality reports related to the datasets and products he has access to.

The CQC Catalogue search form is accessible here and can also be accessed from EOLi SA/GCL via the link presented in the "Quality Reports" tab of the "Products Details" window (the search form will be in that case automatically pre-filled to target the product selected in EOLi SA/GCL).

Access to the CQC Catalogue search form requires a valid UM-SSO account (the one used to access the GSP Personal Area).

More information about the Coordinate Quality Control can be found here, while detailed guidelines for the use of the CQC Catalogue search form can be found here,
