7 1 INTRODUCTION The Data Access Portfolio Document (DAP) presents the offer of the datasets and data access services that are made available to the Copernicus Users in response to their Earth Observation data requirements. The DAP is updated regularly to communicate changes related to the conditions (i.e. data licensing, product types available, delivery timelines, data access mechanisms) under which the datasets are accessible and their access reference time (where applicable). Therefore, it is intended the baseline for implementation of the Copernicus Space Component Data Access (CSCDA) Services which constitute the system and the operations for implementing the Data Warehouse Phase 2 activities. This data and services (including licensing) offer is based on service level agreements with the Copernicus Contributing Mission Entities (CCMEs). In case of a Mission failure or temporary unavailability, ESA will provide backup solutions or temporary replacements where feasible. Up-to-date information and operational Mission news is available on the CSCDA web site at This version of the DAP informs the Copernicus Users about the CORE datasets that are being procured under the Data Warehouse phase 2 activityand the envelope of quota per dataset allocated to authorised users within ADDitional Datasets (on-demand data) for the period 16 March 2018 to 15 December The document also addresses access to the datasets already procured under the previous Data Warehouse phases. Information on the implementation status of all datasets, updated on a monthly basis, is available on the CSCDA web site. 1.1 Reference documents [RD - 1] [RD - 2] [RD - 3] Copernicus Data Access:ESA-User Licence Data Warehouse Requirements V2.0 1 Copernicus Data Access Specifications of the space-based Earth Observation needs for the period Copernicus Space Component Data Access Portfolio: Data Warehouse Abbreviations ADD AOD AOI ADDitional datasets Aerosol Optical Depth Area of Interest 1 A new version of the Data Warehouse Requirements document will bring a revision of the DAP document in the course of Page 7/81

ESA is entrusted by the EU to guarantee a harmonised data provision to the Copernicus Users Copernicus Space Segment: resolution classes All missions of the Space Segment are classified primarily by sensor type (SAR or Optical) but also by resolution classes defined as follows: - VHR1 Very High Resolution 1 where resolution <=1m - VHR2 Very High Resolution 2 where 1m < resolution <=4m - HR1 High Resolution 1 where 4m <resolution<=10m - HR2 High Resolution 1 where 10m <resolution<=30m - MR1 Medium Resolution where 30m <resolution<=100m - MR2 Medium Resolution where 100m <resolution<=300m - LR Low Resolution where resolution >=300m 6 Since 2015 the space segment of the Copernicus Space Component evolved. Today, it allows eligible Copernicus Users to access data from 60 European and international space missions operated by national agencies or commercial entities. In parallel, Sentinels missions enlarge constantly and significantly the overall operational Earth Observation capability. Page 13/81

14 3.2 Copernicus Space Segment: available Sentinel missions Sentinel-1 Sentinel-1 is the first of the six dedicated satellite mission families that ESA has developed for the Copernicus programme. It comprises a constellation of two polarorbiting satellites, performing C-band SAR imaging. Sentinel-1A is in its routine operations phase since September 2014 and S-1B since September Sentinel-1 predefined observation scenario supporting Copernicus Services aims at producing a consistent long-term data archive built for applications based on continuity and long time series. The overall approach, as well as a detailed kml showing the upcoming planning for the next 1-2 weeks (usually 12 days) is published at Sentinel-2 Sentinel-2 comprises a constellation of two Land Monitoring optical satellites on a sunsynchronous orbit. The mission provides a global coverage of the Earth's land surface every 10 days at the equator with one satellite and 5 days with 2 satellites. Sentinel-2A was launched on 23 June 2015 and Sentinel-2B on 07 March Sentinel-2 Mission Planning activities are routinely carried out every days and a Google Earth KML file is published at with detailed information on the image segments Sentinel-3 Sentinel-3 is a multi-instrument mission to measure sea surface topography, sea and land surface temperature and ocean and land surface colour with high accuracy and reliability to support ocean forecasting systems, environmental monitoring and climate monitoring. Sentinel-3A was launched on 16 February 2016 and is jointly operated by ESA and EUMETSAT to deliver operational land and ocean observation services. Sentinel-3B is scheduled for launch on 25 April Sentinel-3 observation scenario is predefined to answer the observation requirements of the Copernicus Services. The instruments perform the sensing of the data autonomously on-board the spacecraft on the basis of predefined geo-coordinates and observation modes depending on the surface being overflown. More information on OLCI, SRAL and SLSTR coverages can be found at Page 14/81

15 3.2.4 Sentinel-5P The Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) mission consists of one satellite carrying the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) UV-VIS-NIR-SWIR instrument. The main objective of the Sentinel-5P mission is to perform atmospheric measurements, with high spatio-temporal resolution, for air quality, climate forcing, ozone and UV radiation monitoring. The satellite was successfully launched on 13 October 2017 and is ending the commissioning phase at the end April Sentinel-5P maps the atmosphere around the entire planet every day with an orbit repeat cycle of 16 days. More information on the mission and its applications can be found at The ramp-up and data provision plan are defined here: Copernicus Space Segment: overall missions overview The table below presents the full list of missions available to implement the Data Warehouse Phase 2 Sentinels and Copernicus Contributing Missions well as ESA and Third Party missions, divided per mission group and resolution type (1=SAR VHR1- MR2, 2b=Optical VHR1/2= Optical HR1/2, 3=Optical MR1/2 and 4/5= Atmospheric Missions). The missions in italic bold will be available at a later stage, when launched or integrated into the CSCDA.

17 coordination and control guaranteeing the Users with a harmonized access to the data portfolio. As depicted in Figure 1, the Coordinated Data access System (CDS) is the centre of the operational system. It is in charge of coordinating the data flow between the data providers and the Copernicus Users, through the implementation of predefined datasets and the processing of asynchronous data requests based on mission capacity analysis as well as on the established agreements with CCMEs. The CDS ensures a harmonised user interface for the Copernicus Users. It also supports the production and dissemination of multi-mission collections, and provides a dedicated storage for CSC long-term data preservation. Data from the systematic global missions, including the Sentinels, are however not duplicated in the CDS archive but kept in the mission ground segment archive. Figure 1. CSCDA high level decomposition 5 CORE DATASETS They are the fixed part of the data offer, typically pre-defined large coverages, identified to cover the needs of the Copernicus services and other activities requesting Earth Observation data, like Union financed research projects and the activities of Union agencies who are eligible users (EEA, EMSA, SatCen, etc.). CORE datasets are characterised by fixed tasking, systematic or not, data processing and delivery timeliness Page 17/81

They are typically related to the Emergency Management Service and Security Services activities, which require fresh data over critical areas. However on-demand ADDitional data are available also for non-rush applications, for which requirement details are only known at short notice (e.g. areas of interest, time window of interest, data type, etc.). The eligibility of Copernicus Users to order EO data under a given ADDitional dataset is established by the European Commission who assigns a quota expressed in Km2 per data type on a yearly basis, which is linked to budget projections and assessments of the objectives and reasons behind the data requests. The allocation per Copernicus User for the period 16 March 2018 to 15 December 2018 is reported in Annex 4: Quota allocations values The content of ADDitional datasets is organized per resolution class and the relevant portfolio of missions offered for both Rush and Standard modes are described in section List of ADDitional datasets Each dataset represents: - A resolution class (see section 3.1), - A service type: Rush or Standard, Archive or New tasking - A mission type: Optical or SAR Table 5 presents the list of datasets which content in terms of contributing missions is described in section 6.2.

50 7 FROM REGISTRATION TO DATA ACCESS 7.1 Registration For access to Sentinel dedicated missions A simple on-line registration is required to access Sentinels data at copernicus.eu. Users shall take note of the ESA-User Licence regulating the use and distribution of Sentinel data available at Copernicus Services and Union Institutions may also have access to a dedicated Sentinel Data Hub ( after registration to CSCDA For access to ESA and ESA TPM missions ESA missions data (ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, CryoSat and SMOS) are fully available to Copernicus users and are free of charge. The corresponding EO data collections are made available under a free dataset policy only requiring a fast registration for data available online (free datasets) while data processed on-demand are subject to a project proposal (restrained datasets). More information is available athttps://spacedata.copernicus.eu/web/cscda/data-access/access-to-esa-third-partymission-data For access to other Contributing Missions Registration with the Copernicus Services Coordinated Interface (SCI) is required for access to data from other Copernicus Contributing Missions. The user profile determines the access rights. Signature of the Licence (ESA-User Licence) for the use of CSCDA data is a prerequisite and part of the registration process described at If a consortium of companies requests access to EO data, its coordinator is responsible for the provision and maintenance of the list of its members. He/she may sign the licence on behalf of the whole consortium. The list of users is provided to the data providers. Access restrictions may apply depending on the data provider (see the mission-specific annex to the licence). 7.2 Quota management EO data ordering can be performed by Copernicus users having received from the European Commission an allocated quota for the period of interest. The assigned quota is an indicative number of square kilometers (km 2 ) of data available within a dataset to a single Copernicus User. Quota allocation is performed typically on a yearly basis. This year reference period is 16 March 2018 to 15 December 2018.

51 ESA and ESA Third Party Missions are not subject to quota allocation and can be made available in any relevant dataset, on top of the missions specified in section Quota allocation and status Quota assignments from 16 March 2018 to 15 December 2018 are listed in Annex 4: Quota allocations values Monitoring of the quota consumption is performed on a quarterly basis, jointly by ESA and the Commission, in order to measure consumption trends and take corrective actions for quotas adjustments where needed.users are responsible for managing their own overall quotas per dataset. The quota usage is advertised on the CSCDA web site on a monthly basis. Each Project/user having an allocated quota may also check consumption status in the CDS personal area accessible from the CSCDA web site, after login with SSO account Quota consumption calculation The quota consumption depends on: (a) the actual number of square kilometers delivered; this depends on the minimum order/aoi size and minimum AOI incremental size for the mission and type of product requested; (b) The actual cost of the product delivered; within a dataset, the cost of the individual product may vary depending on mission and add-ons requested in the order (e.g. orthorectification, faster delivery, etc.). For more details on how the km 2 accounting per CCM is handled, please see The type of product delivered depends on the order options as specified by the Copernicus user. Order options may have a major impact on the price/km 2 of the delivered product e.g. the selection of higher level, most expensive (e.g. orthorectified, or stereo) products lead to earlier depletion of the assigned quota than ordering the same number of km 2 at lower processing level (e.g. non-orthorectified panchromatic level) Quota exhaustion and reshuffling In case a Copernicus User requires an update to the assigned quota once the DAP has been issued, the following rules apply: 1. The user shall contact the Account Managers, the dedicated interface for issues related to the data offer, in order to define and justify the new requirements 2. The Account Manager will analyse the request and, in case of major deviation, request the CCMs Contract Manager, to agree to an adaptation at the next revision with COM. 3. In case of a small deviation to an existing dataset or quota exhaustion, the user shall send the order to the User Support Services team who will cater for the authorisation of the deviation from the Account Manager. In case such alterations/deviations from DAP datasets occur, they will not be immediately reflected in a new DAP version, but monitored by the Account Managers and documented on the CSCDA web site. Page 51/81

52 7.2.4 Minimum order size The different data providers accept any area of interest (AOI) but a minimum order size and an incremental area extension is applied when delivering and invoicing a product. Therefore user quota will be impacted accordingly: If the AOI defined by the user is smaller than the minimum order size, the latter applies systematically and the corresponding number of km2 is deducted from the user available quota. If the ordered AOI is bigger than the minimum order size, incremental area will apply up to full coverage of the AOI. Details of the specific values per Mission, instrument mode and product type are indicated in Table 16.

Eligible Copernicus users with quota assigned to the required dataset shall submit a data request via the "Standard Data Request" interface after login within the CSCDA portal ( The flow of activities related to the ordering within standard ADDitional datasets is described below and outlined in Figure 2. Data request submission by the user: All order options shall be specified (AoI, acquisition window or archive time period, product type, required bands, processing level, polarization, delivery timeliness). The user cannot select a specific Contributing Mission but only a data type via the selection of a dataset; during order creation, the SCI (Services Coordinated Interface) will select the most suitable mission from those contributing to the dataset according to predefined criteria (minimum order size vs AoI, data cost, etc.). Data request validation and order submission by the SCI team to the selected data provider: Order parameters and quota availability are checked and the order is sent to the most suitable Copernicus Contributing Mission Entity (CCME). Order implementation by selected data provider: The CCME implements tasking (if needed) and data processing according to the parameters specified in the order. Data delivery: CCME circulates the resulting product(s) to the Coordinated Data Access System (CDS) archive, according to delivery timeliness specified by the user. At this point in time, the data are available for access by the originator of the request and for re-use by other eligible users. Page 56/81

57 Figure 2. Process of New Tasking and Archive EO data ordering in Standard mode Ordering within rush ADDitional datasets Only authorised users are entitled to submit requests for rush delivery of new or archived data covering a disaster area, including one-off or repetitive (crisis monitoring) rush satellite tasking, processing and NRT dissemination. The rush data requests are managed according to dedicated procedures executed by the Rapid Emergency Activation for Copernicus Tasking (REACT) team within the Services Coordinated Interface (SCI). The REACT service is operated by ESA to manage the requests for rush delivery of new and archived imagery covering a wide range of emergency situations throughout the world upon request from eligible Copernicus Services (mainly the Emergency Management Service and Security Services). The service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The flow of activities related to the ordering within rush ADDitional datasets is described below and outlined in Figure 3 and Figure 4. EO data request submission through SPERF (Service Project Emergency Request Form): The user shall provide all parameters of the order, including data type requested (Optical/Radar, resolution, new/archive) and area of interest. He/she shall also confirm the request by a telephone call. New tasking and archive requests handling: REACT Operator checks completeness and validity of SPERF content then performs a feasibility study to determine the first suitable mission that can cover the AoI. In the case of archive data requests, the REACT Operator searches the CCME archives for the most suitable image. Submission of orders to the relevant CCME(s): REACT Operator submits one or more order(s) to one or more CCMEs. Page 57/81

58 Feedback from CCME(s): Feasibility analysis for new tasking requests or confirmation of acceptance of archive orders are produced by CCMEs and sent to REACT operator. Order confirmation and feedback to User: REACT Operator confirms the order to CCME(s) and provides a Satellite Resource Table (SRT) to the User, containing details of all ordered scenes and planned acquisitions. This document is updated regularly during the activation to keep track of ordered and delivered EO products. Order implementation by selected data provider: The CCME implements tasking (if needed) and data processing according to the parameters specified in the order. In the case of the 3-attempts scenario, a confirmation of imagery acceptance is needed from the user based on quicklook assessment, unless the acquisition is 100% cloud-free. Products delivery: CCME disseminates the products(s) on their own FTP server and circulates them to the Coordinated Data Access System (CDS) archive. Delivery is notified to the user via . Figure 3. Process of New Tasking product ordering in Rush mode Page 58/81

59 Figure 4. Process of Archive product ordering in Rush mode Rush Tasking Schemes In this second phase of the Data Warehouse, the principle of 3-attempts is applied by Optical missions: three consecutive acquisitions are scheduled by the same data provider, in order to improve the chances of delivering a cloud-free image within the shortest timeframe possible. When the first valid (acceptable with respect to clouds) acquisition is confirmed, processing is performed and tasking stops. In case all 3 acquisitions are cloudy, one of the three products is delivered, a single rush tasking is charged and the corresponding quota deducted CCMEs emergency service support The following table lists the CCMEs emergency service hours, CCMEs deadlines to receive confirmed rush tasking requests (cut-off times) and expected delivery timeliness in nominal conditions.

Selected parameters (addons) may be subject to cost uplift if different from the baseline which then result in a higher quota consumption. While the dataset selection provides the information about data type, resolution class and service type, AOI, time window and the following order parameters have to be selected at order submission time: ADD-ons features Satellite Tasking lead time (for new acquisitions) Processing Options Cloud Coverage Class SAR Polarisation Delivery timeliness ADD-ons features The matrix below (Table 18) highlights differences between baseline and add-on options.

The list of tasking lead times and corresponding definitions is shown in the table below. Normal lead-time is the default scenario for standard requests while Rush is reserved for emergency activations. Selection of SLT or SLT+ through the tasking window definition may imply an additional cost and therefore a larger quota consumption. It is to be noted that the order processing time is up to 2 days that are added to the programming notice, except for orders within Rush datasets. 10 price reduction involved Page 62/81

63 Satellite Tasking lead time Long Lead time (LLT) Data request submission: 1 month prior to acquisition window start time Normal lead time (NLT) Default option for standard orders.

In addition, Sentinel-1 data are systematically made available over Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) areas of interest and delivered in a dedicated repository, in NRT3h for agreed priority areas. Sentinel-1 also contributes to emergency activations via dedicated data distribution mechanism. Sentinel-2 Sentinel-2 data processing is systematic and the L1C data are made available online in the Copernicus Open Access Hub ( and Copernicus Services data hub ( nominally within 24h from sensing. The dissemination of Sentinel-2A L2A products has become nominal in March Sentinel-2B data is available since July Page 65/81

66 Sentinel-2 contributes to HR1/HR2_OPTICAL_GLOBAL and HR_IMAGE_2015/2018 datasets Sentinel-3 Sentinel-3 OLCI (Level 1B and Level 2 Land data), SRAL (Level 1A, 1B and Level 2 Land data), and SLSTR (Level 1B and Level 2 LST) products are available on the Copernicus Open Access Hub ( in different versions according to the following timeliness: - NRT (Near Real Time): it corresponds to a version of the products generated within 3h from sensing. - NTC (Non Time Critical): This version of the products is due within 30 days from sensing, even if the optical NTC products are frequently produced after 24h. - STC (Short Time Critical): it corresponds to an intermediate version between the NRT and the NTC, only produced for altimetry products within 48h from sensing. AOD and FRP L2 data will be released in NRT by EUMETSAT and NTC by ESA. Sea Surface Temperature and other water products are delivered by EUMETSAT. For further information: Rev1.pdf Sentinel-5P Sentinel-5P data processing is systematic, worldwide and the data will be made available online via the Copernicus Open Access Hub ( There are three types of processing required: NRT (near real time), NTC (not time critical), and reprocessing. For NRT processing the availability of products must be within 3 hours after sensing. Total columns of ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, vertical profiles of ozone, cloud & aerosol information, and unconsolidated L1B products will be provided in NRT. For NTC processing the data availability depends on the product. The currently planned NTC delivery times are: - for Level 1B products within 12 hours after sensing - for methane, tropospheric ozone and corrected total nitrogen dioxide columns within 5 days after sensing Access to ESA and Third Parties Mission data Available ESA EO data collections can be found at Page 66/81

67 Third Party Missions collections and information on the "List of available products" can be found at: Access to other Copernicus Contributing Missions data Depending on the operational scenario that applies to the dataset, the EO data are made available: - On data provider side (product delivery on CCME FTP server), for systematic missions or whenever there is a stringent timeliness requirement associated to the data request (rush mode). - In the CDS archive (product delivery to CDS), for all other cases, including in particular the cumulative datasets generated as the result of the contribution from several EO missions (e.g. predefined large coverages). A prerequisite for accessing the data is to have subscribed to the dataset. Instructions to do so are available at FPT access to CDS on line repository The user accesses the CDS on line repository with his SSO account created during the registration process Direct access to CCMEs repository When stringent timeliness delivery requirement applies (e.g. rush order or sea ice monitoring purposes), direct access to CCMEs servers (FTP@CCM) is granted to users. Data access accounts are User or Service project as well as CCME specific and are provided at ordering start-up CSCDA catalogue and download (GCL/EOLi-SA) All Copernicus users may browse the catalogue of data available in the CSCDA archive (EOLI-Sa) while download capability depends on access rights. The login account is the user SSO account generated during the registration process. The data are organised by dataset, mission and by resolution type. Visibility of the CCMEs own catalogues is also implemented. More information is available in the GCL user manual at Page 67/81
