Impact: data-unavailable
Detail: Deployment of MPEF (Meteorological Product Extraction Facility) Release 2.7 for the Meteosat RSS and IODC services. This release mainly includes bug fixes. The most significant change is a shift of one pixel in the emissivity maps. These static maps are used by the Scenes Analysis algorithm and impact, indirectly, all other products. The one pixel shift leads to very small changes in the other products, which are negligible in most cases. There will be a 1-hour interruption in product generation during the indicated time period, with a small risk of a longer interruption. [Rev. 2]: Date changed from 2018/10/24 to 2018/11/07.
