Goodbye legacy ADS, Hello New Atmosphere Data Store (ADS)!

Today 26th September 2024, ADS-Beta has officially become the new ADS:

https://ads.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/

The legacy system is now decommissioned and no longer accessible. All API requests attempting to retrieve data from the legacy system will systematically fail. However, no further support will be provided on the legacy system.

If you are a ADS-beta API user, requests will be automatically redirected from the beta URL to the proper one until 20th October 2024. You are advised to update the URL in your .cdsapirc file at your earliest convenience by 20th October 2024 (login here to check URL to use in .cdsapirc file).

Following the ADS-Beta phase, the new ADS is in its early days of full operations and still undergoing enhancements and fine tuning. Some disruptions are to be expected with the implementation of improvements. Some issues are yet to be fully addressed: for example we are aware of unexpectedly long queue times and are actively working at improving the situation.

We thank you all again for your patience during this significant modernisation of our Data Stores and eagerly await for your constructive feedback. Your feedback is key to improve the user experience on the new ADS for the benefit of everyone.

Thank you.
