The EUMETSAT Data Store provides users with a single point of access to a growing catalogue of EUMETSATs meteorological, climate and ocean data. Eventually, it will offer the full data catalogue, including near-real time and historic data and climate data records.
Access to the Data Store is through a web user interface (WebUI) or a series of application programming interfaces (APIs). Products identified in the store can be combined with the functionality provided by the EUMETSAT Data Tailor API, allowing for product customisation. The Data Store allows users immediate access to the data, reducing delays. The Product Navigator will stay up to date with the latest datasets that are available for download.
How to access the EUMETSAT Data Store
The new EUMETSAT Data Store can be accessed through the Earth Observation Portal or directly via https://data.eumetsat.int. To get the most out of the service, new users will require a user registration, and the EUMETSAT data policy applies. Existing users will be able to use their current Earth Observation Portal credentials to access the new data access services.
As well as the web interface (pictured at the top of the page), you can also access the Data Store using four different APIs that support downloading, the ability to search products based on collections and filter based on date, your region of interest, timeliness, and coverage. There is a subscription API (be available in the near future) which will notify you of new product availability.
For more information on the Data Store, see our Data Store knowledge base documentation. Training material, in the form of Jupyter notebooks, is also available to help you learn about the Data Store functionality.
What data is supported?
The Data Store includes products from Metop and MSG and some downstream products from the Satellite Application Facilities (SAFs). The catalogue includes radiometry (AVHRR), interferometry (IASI global data and combined sounding products), and scatterometry products. Downstream products including level-2 AVHRR SST, and ASCAT winds produced by the Ocean and Sea Ice SAF are also currently provided. Future releases will see more and more collections added to the Data Store, including Copernicus data from Sentinel-3, further SAF products, and eventually the full EUMETSAT product catalogue.
What if my data isn't available via the Data Store?
More data collections will be added to the Data Store in future releases. In the meantime, you are still able to access data through the current suite of services we provide. You can provide feedback, or ask any questions you have about the product catalogue and our data access services as described below.
User support and providing your feedback
We welcome user feedback on all our data access services including the Data Store. If you would like to provide feedback please contact our User Service Helpdesk. To help users use the service, we have a created a knowledge base.
