The connection between CVL and PTEP is broken and will not be fixed in the short term. What is still possible, is to create an information object, download this and upload that to any system of choice (even local environments). CVL is evaluating the information object and will probably at some point move towards R_Crate instead of the native object is use today.

The CVL 3D Viewer has been added to the CVL Landing page. This is a viewer that for the time being provides access to a predefined number of datasets from the catalogue and allows both 2 and 3 dimensional visualisation of products as well fly through. This service requires that WebGL is enabled in the client computer.

The interactive interface to the data catalogue has been updated as part of the process of moving the landing page to a new version of the content management system. During this migration a new information model for the datasets have also been introduced and the process of ingesting datasets into this is ongoing. The new interface includes faceting and have access to all the datasets served as NetCDF-CF by the Norwegian National Ground Segment for Satellite Data.

A catalogue search interface has been added to the CVL landing page. This is a preliminary setup but allows users to search for datasets that can be relevant. The catalogue approach implies that CVL is working in an "open" dataspace, not knowing which data that are available. When moving from the open to the "closed" dataspace, improved services can be offered. Further functionality will be offered in a "closed" dataspace.
