The production of the CERRA data is delayed by 2-3 months with respect to real time. The delay is directly dependent on the availability of some reprocessed datasets (e.g. GNSS-RO). Note: at the time when the dataset was released, a contract for the near-real time update of CERRA dataset had not been concluded, and therefore the production was suspended; it will be resumed once the contract is signed. One should be aware that it takes several months to produce data that will bridge the gap between June 2021 (last available month) and the near-real time, and that only after filling the gap, the dataset will be updated with a delay of 2-3 months behind the real time. For instance, the release of data for January 2023 2024 can be expected in April 20232024.
