Detail: NOAA will change the cloud information which is part of the S-NPP CrIS products from the IDPS generated VIIRS Cloud Mask and Cloud Height to the JPSSRR (JPSS Risk Reduction) generated Enterprise VIIRS Cloud Mask and Cloud Height. This will also change the version number of the CrIS products to V2. There is no impact expected on other parameters of the CrIS product. An outage of 2.5 hours can be expected. For sample files of the V2 CrIS products (EUMETCast files and GTS files), see the URL provided below.
