Detail: Planned maintenance but the exact date is still to be confirmed: NOAA will perform a switch of the SNPP CrIS electronics from the current side-1 to the redundant side-2, in order to recover from a CrIS midwave signal processor failure that occurred on side-1. All CrIS data will be unavailable for a two week period as instrument adjustments are being performed, followed by a 12-week Calibration/Validation effort. [Rev 2]: Direct broadcast added to affected services.[Rev 3]:Exact date for start of outage confirmed, updated the start time.
