Data access from the Data Centre is being migrated to the Data Store, for easier and faster access.

The transition, in the coming months, is organised in a staged approach, involving reductions to the catalogue, the customisation offer, and the service level of the Data Centre.

Timelines

Reduction of the Data Centre product customisations

As of mid-June 2023, the following customisations are no longer supported for MSG and Metop orders. Users are encouraged to customise their data deliveries on the Data Tailor:

  • Region of Interest/Geographical Area subsetting.
  • Channel/Band/Variable subsetting.
  • Reformatting to image formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF).
  • Reformatting to HDF5.
  • Reformatting to McIdas AREA files – no longer supported.

Reduction of the Data Centre catalogue

The timeline below provides an overview of when data which is in the Data Store will be removed from the Data Centre.

  • 17 April: historical Sentinel-6 data (sensing time before 28/04/2022).
  • Planned for 2023 Q4: MFG, MSG, Metop, Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-6 mission data.

Reduction of the Data Centre service levels

  • Planned for 2023 Q4: users will be able to submit a maximum of 5 orders (reduced from 10) in parallel. New orders won´t be accepted until previous ones are delivered.
  • Planned for 2023 Q4: order delivery times might increase due to the reduction of the computational resources dedicated to the processing of Data Centre user orders.

For full details, see: Switching the data access from the Data Centre to the Data Store for faster delivery times
