VirES is a Virtual workspace for Earth-observation Scientists, a service provided by the European Space Agency (ESA). VirES has firstly been established for ESA’s magnetic field mission Swarm as “VirES for Swarm’‘ and has been extended to ESA’s atmospheric dynamics mission Aeolus, which was launched in August 2018. The service is developed by the Austrian IT company EOX in strong collaboration with missions’ scientists. VirES is a web-based service (https://aeolus.services) that enables scientists to discover, visualize, select and download data of Earth-observation (EO) missions through an easy to operate graphical user interface. ”VirES for Aeolus” will provide access to Aeolus L1B, L2A, L2B, L2C products and auxiliary data. The first version 1.0 passed acceptance tests in April 2018 and developments towards Version 1.2 are in progress. The service is planned to be accessible for public use as soon as the mission’s phase E1 is completed and first data products are released by ESA.
