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. Update : 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. Update : The processing of Level 4 merged CryoSat-2/SMOS sea ice thickness data is currently interrupted due to a problem with the AWI HPC system. The processing of Level 3 SMOS sea ice thickness data remains unaffected. Problem has been solved and data reprocessed. |

AbstractThe SMOS & CryoSat-2 Sea Ice Data Product Processing and Dissemination Service (CS2SMOS-PDS) ensures the automated and continuous operational generation of the SMOS and the merged CryoSat-2/SMOS Sea Ice Thickness products. |

Data accessDaily SMOS and weekly merged CryoSat-2/SMOS sea ice thickness data can be downloaded via FTP through a Web browser, a FTP client (e.g. FileZilla) or command line. The access is anomymous. Alternatively, data can be downloaded from the ESA SMOS Dissemination server by ftps and https: |
Due to melting season, the SMOS and CryoSat-2 data processing and dissemination is stopped between May and September. |
