Dear EISCAT community,
We are getting ready to make changes on our portal.eiscat.se webpage.
They will be done in several steps starting today and continuing over
the Christmas and New Year period.
As the first step we will disable location-based download from our
present portal page today. To be able to download data and later to use
our portal pages we are asking you to register in the EISCAT Virtual
Organisation. Information with links where to apply is attached here but
also can be found and downloaded: https://cloud.eiscat.se/s/WjQCxQbxkBoNCLe
If you are not a member of EISCAT VO yet and you are applying for a
specific associate group you will be asked to submit two applications
when using the link. So please follow through the whole form. If you
didn't use EGI checkin services yet, you will be asked to register as a
member of EGI community first. It is better to make this step separately
before at https://aai.egi.eu/signup
Please remember to always use the same account for identification.
(Institutional accounts or ORCID are preferred.)
First application for general membership (download of public data) is
approved automatically. The application for your specific group has to
be approved by the group manager, as each Associate manages their groups
independently of EISCAT, and thus in some cases it can take up to
several days until it gets approved. You should receive automatic emails
from the EISCAT VO on the perun system once each of these applications
is approved.
For the next step we will disable experiment request submission next
week (on 11th of December) once the submissions for January are closed.
The changes on the portal entail also a revamp of the campaign request
submission system. To be able to submit requests on the new portal pages
you have to be member of a request subgroup. Membership in this subgroup
depends on the rules of your associate and has to be communicated with
your individual managers.
The plan is to change the webpage in a suitable timeslot just before
Christmas depending also on the staff availability. We will try to
change the pages as smoothly as possible but we expect there will be
outages in accessibility of the portal page over the Christmas and New
Year period. The submission of campaign requests for February will be
open once we are sure with the new page. I will inform you about the
progress of the changes and resuming of the service through this mailing
list.
