The WEkEO Catalogue includes around 300 Earth observation products, all easily accessible via the dedicated Data Viewer (How to access Earth observation data in WEkEO?) and the dedicated download services (How to download WEkEO data?).

Copernicus data and information are made available on a full, free and open basis, while attribution/citation is required.

However, please consult and familiarize yourself with the Legal Notice on the use of Copernicus Sentinel Data and Service Information, ensuring that you have understood how and for what purposes Sentinel Data and Service Information may be used and taking note of the European Union's limited liability.

General citation

For any redistribution or if you have developed a product or service from a WEKEO product, you must explicitly mention:

"This study has been conducted using WEkEO DIAS Information; https://www.wekeo.eu/"

Specific citation

If you are at the stage of a publication (scientific, commercial, etc.), you must explicitly mention the DOI of the product from the original Service page:

"This study has been conducted using WEkEO DIAS Information, provided by <insert original provider Service>, <insert all relevant DOIs links>"

๐Ÿ“ For example:

โ€œThis study has been conducted using WEkEO DIAS Information, provided by Copernicus Marine Service, https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00016โ€

Other citation

If a DOI is not available for a specific product, you can cite the description page instead:

"This study has been conducted using WEkEO DIAS Information, using the product

<Product name>, <insert product's page link>"
