Geoservice News Latest Announcements

The new EOC Metadata Catalogue has been updated and moved to a new location. It can now be accessed through http://geoservice.dlr.de/eoc/catalogue/srv/eng/csw. This replaces the previous EOC Catalogue, which was accessible via http://geoservice.dlr.de/catalogue/srv/en/csw. The EOC Metadata Catalogue contains metadata of a variety of data sets and data set series which are available through the EOC Geoservice. Currently selected data sets such as the digital elevation model of the DLR Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM X-SAR), atmospheric products for the Eumetsat Ozone Satellite Application Facility (O3M-SAF), as well as thematic products of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) of the NOAA POES satellite series are available through the EOC Geoservice. In addition, the Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (ZKI) provides collection metadata of their products to the EOC Catalogue. As of today (08/2013), 85 collection metadata sets are available and the number will grow continuously.

There will be a short downtime this afternoon due to a small kernel update. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Due to system maintenance between Wednesday, February 6th and Thursday, February 7th the services will be offline. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Due to system maintenance, the services will be offline from Friday, 11th March 2012 to Monday, 14th March 2012. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The new Geoservice Webapp has been installed. Besides an improved interface an imprint as well as a contact form has been added.

The Cache service provides access to often requested baselayers (such as BlueMarble and the DLR Basemap). It provides OGC Web Map Tiling Service (WMTS) and the Tile Map Server (TMS) interfaces as implemented by the Geowebcache project. In combination with compliant clients - such NASA World Wind or OpenLayers - this service allows for fast web delivery of pre-rendered datasets. The Cache service uses the Geowebcache implementation.

New Metadata have been added to the catalogue. This contains 10 new collections of the MetOP-A GOME-2 O3M-SAF project. Additionally the metadata of the NOAA AVHRR collections have been updated.

Due to maintenance of the system, the services will be offline until today UTC 18:00:00, October 20th 2011. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Due to maintenance of the storage system, the services will be offline today from UTC 07:00:00 to about 12:00:00. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The Geoservice Elevation WMS/WCS service provides access to an SRTM DEM Mosaic based on DLR's SRTM X-SAR DTED tiles. The original DTED tiles (see specification in the related link section) are available to download from EOWEB©.
