3. ERS and Envisat ESA Data Policy Free datasets (Free of charge; User registration and acceptance of ESA Terms & Conditions are required  Open access) Restrained datasets (Free of charge; User registration, submission of a “Project (Full) Proposal” and acceptance of the ESA Terms & Conditions are required, after its evaluation a quota will be assigned) Data Policy of individual data providers In some case, a reproduction cost (e.g. ALOS) or Specific Restrictions (limitations of quota, geographical restrictions, etc.) to the use of data may be applied for TPM ESA Third Party Missions Earth Explorers ESA Earth Observation Data Policy q To stimulate a balanced development of Science, Public Utility and Commercial Applications, consistent with the mission’s objectives q To maximize the beneficial use of data from ESA EO satellites

4. Main points: to use the ESA data within the project team (PI and Co-PIs) and only for the purpose described in the Registration/Project Proposal  i.e. no data redistribution outside the project Just need to tick acceptance of the ESA Terms & Conditions available on line https://earth.esa.int/files/terms (ESA EO data); https://earth.esa.int/files/TPMterms (TPM data) https://earth.esa.int/files/termshttps://earth.esa.int/files/TPMterms ESA T&Cs for use of ESA & TPM data to widely publish the project results in scientific publications or presentations,  with data citation: “[mission or instrument] Data provided by European Space Agency” (to facilitate ESA web searching of publications, and subsequent reporting on mission/instrument achievements)

5. The PI Community Webpage is the main access point for ESA and ESA TPM data https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/pi-community ESA Principal Investigators (PIs): Scientific community worldwide with on-going research projects requiring ESA and / or Third Party Mission (TPM) instruments’ data ESA Principal Investigators

6. EO-SSO account Registration My Earthnet The EO-SSO account allows the PI to access to My Earthnet functionality. If you do not have an EO-SSO account, follow the registration procedure starting from: https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/home or https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/pi-community https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/homehttps://earth.esa.int/web/guest/pi-community Step 1 Step 1 – Click ‘Register’ button at the top of the page Step 3 Step 3 – Click the ‘Registration’ button once the form is completed Your new account will be generated, and you will shortly receive an automated email asking you to activate this account. Simply click on the link provided in the email, and your registration will be complete. Step 2 Step 2 - Fill in the registration form with your prospective account details

7. Log in to My Earthnet using the SSO account (1/2) My Earthnet The Log in to My Earthnet allows you to access to your personal area, where you will find personal information, your Full proposal projects (restrained dataset), and the list of My Online Data (free dataset) you have registered for. My Earthnet You can log in to My Earthnet from: https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/homehttps://earth.esa.int/web/guest/home or https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/pi-communityhttps://earth.esa.int/web/guest/pi-community Step 1 Step 1 – Click on the ’Login My Earthnet’ button at the top of the page Step 2 Step 2 – Enter your username (EO-SSO ID) and password Step 3 Step 3 – Click "Login" button to complete the log in process. After logging in you will automatically be returned to the page you were viewing before you logged in.

8. MyEarthnet Now you are logged in to the system, and can access to your personal area of MyEarthnet clicking on ‘My Earthnet’ button My Earthnet Logging in to My Earthnet, you can find: your personal information; all your Project Proposals (for which you are registered as PI or Co-PI); the list of My Online Data sets you have registered for. Log in to My Earthnet using the SSO account (2/2)

9. Step 1My Earthnet Step 1 - Once you are in your personal area of My Earthnet, click on ‘Add ESA product’ or ‘Add TPM product’ button under My Online Data section selecting the products of interest Step 2 Step 2 - Acceptance of Terms & Conditions for use of ESA and/or TPM data For most datasets you will receive the information to access the data in an email immediately. In addition, the access information will be contained in the My Online Data list, as shown beside. User name and password can be visualized by mouse-over Step 3 Step 3 - The ‘online product’ will appear under your My Online Data section with details how to access My Online Data (Free Dataset) Selection

10. The access to the selected Online data, is provided by ESA EO Help & Order Desk. They will address you to the appropriate system providing direct access to EO data for download via internet Geographical interface for MERIS RR / (A)ATSR archived products e.g. download for Proba archived products My Online Data (Free Dataset) Access

11. Project (Full) Proposal Submission (1/2) My Earthnet Once you are in your personal area of My Earthnet you can start the submission of a Project (Full) Proposal clicking on ‘New Project’ button on the right panel

12. The submission forms are tailored to several different aspects of the Project (Full) Proposal: The Cover page: general information about the PI and an overview of the project The Team Composition, Innovation and Contribution sections The Detailed Description and Schedule of the Project The Data Description pages Acceptance of ESA & TPM Terms and Conditions All details available in the Guidelines for the submission of Project Proposals at: https://earth.esa.int/files/guidelineshttps://earth.esa.int/files/guidelines Detailed Description and Schedule of the Project Proposal is the most important part of the Project Proposal and the main basis for its evaluation. It should include as a minimum the following information: Technical and scientific approach and methods proposed to meet the proposal’s objectives, and the success criteria of the project. Anticipated results and deliverables of the investigation, and schedule for availability of such results and deliverables. Work Plan of the investigation, including a description of the key milestones and associated deliverables, the planned use of data, software/tools, models and facilities. Justification for the amount and type of requested data products. Data Requirements: Instruments and Products In order to better complete this section, providing the necessary information about the requested products, before submitting a proposal, it is strongly recommended to consult the ESA Catalogues as far as the ESA Earth Observation data coverage is concerned. The EOLI catalogue can be freely used for search and browsing as an anonymous user. No user registration is required for this. Project (Full) Proposal Submission (2/2)

13. The Proposal, once submitted, will be reviewed and a quota will be assigned by ESA. The PI will receive the notification via email (Final Acceptance email) ESA EO Help & Order Desk will send to the PI the instructions how to access to the requested products (Restrained Dataset). Usually an EOLI-SA account will be created to place the orders. Latest version 9.2.0, available on http://earth.esa.int/EOLi/EOLi.html The EOLI – Stand Alone (SA) Client provides access to the online ESA catalogues of EO products, allowing the visualisation of quick-looks and online ordering.
