C3S2_312a Essential Climate Variable Products Derived from Satellite Observations

Descriptions

ECMWF, as the entrusted entity for implementing the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), invites tenders for the delivery of Essential Climate Variable (ECV) products derived from satellite observations. The purpose of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is, primarily, to ensure continuity of high-quality ECV products that are derived primarily from satellite observations and accessible from the Climate Data Store (CDS). ECMWF is looking to secure the highest possible quality for all products, guided by GCOS requirements and best practices, hence bidders will need to maintain consistency with datasets currently available via the CDS, and/or initiate new activities that ensure equivalent (or better) products from ongoing observations.
