Through the buttons

users can further edit (pencil-like icon) or delete (bin-shaped icon) each AOI of the list.
When editing, users may change the rectangle dimensions or to drag it rigidly (i.e., not chnaging its shape) across the map.

Product selection

Once the AOI has been drawn/selected the system will automatically display the latest available dataset for each of the 11 product output layers.

AOIs might be searched through the text box or by scrolling down the list (if other AOIs have been drawn before).

By default, the system displays the latest available product output layers, yet users may request previous versions of them through the FILTER BY DATES button

Users are allowed to select and eventually download as many timesteps as the system is storing for each product. Nonetheless, depending on the size of the request data package, user might be redirected to a ftp in order to download it as a single compressed file.

When clickling on a specific AOI, the platform will show the whole list of all the available product output layers:
user may choose to download them all in bulk or to pick amongst them by ticking the checkbox on the side.
