HRPT 1B version number change
Date/Time(UTC) Message Issued:
17 November 2006, 1930 UTC
Satellite(s) Involved:
All NOAA Polar
Instrument(s) Involved:
HRPT
Product(s) Involved/Affected:
All HRPT products
Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
14 November 2006, Time 1531 UTC
Details/Specifics of Change:
On November 14, day 318, at 1531 UTC the HRPT 1B version number was inadvertently changed to 5. This occurred when a problem fix was implemented to correct a zero scan line number that was in the Metop-2/A FRAC data. There was no format change associated with this fix. However, since over 2 days of data have been processed using this new version number for all the NOAA polar satellites, we are not going to revert back to the previous number. We apologize for any problem that this change may have caused our users and will endeavor to avoid problems such as this in the future. Thanks for your support.
