The CryoSat-2 near real-time data service by ESA has resumed. The production of near real-time merged CryoSat-2/SMOS sea ice thickness data continues with a short period of data degradation due to the resulting gap of CryoSat-2 data between Dec 16 and Dec 20, 2021.
The accuracy of the near real-time merged CryoSat-2/SMOS sea ice thickness data is currently degraded due to an outage in the ESA CryoSat-2 NRT service. The production of CryoSat-2/SMOS sea ice thickness data NRT data may be suspended in the next days depending on when CryoSat-2 NRT data will be available again. The production of SMOS sea ice thickness data remains unaffected.
The production of CryoSat-2/SMOS sea ice thickness data is temporarily halted, while the server and software system is evaluated for potential weaknesses following the log4j exploit.
