Detail:

There is an issue with the latest EUMETCast software package, affecting Linux operating systems when the Tellicast client software (version 2.14.5) is used in combination with the Safenet drivers. A new alpha version of Tellicast, with a fix of the issue, is available for download. See the URL provided below.

Subsystem:

GOME-2

Subject:

general-announcement

Impact:

risk-of-degradation

Detail:

The Metop-A satellite with GOME-2 on-board is currently in drifting orbit. As a consequence there are periods during which the GOME-2 instrument is not able to carry out its daily solar calibration measurement. The third such period will be from 14 November 2019 to 14 April 2020. During this period, the solar mean reference spectrum provided in the Metop-A GOME-2 level-1B product will be automatically replaced by a modelled solar spectrum using information on solar activity from Metop-B. Therefore, it is expected that the quality of both level-1B and level-2 products might undergo slight changes during this period, and there will be an associated risk of degraded product quality for Metop-A GOME-2 products.

Detail:

Update to the Medium Resolution Sea Ice Drift product (OSI-407-a) from OSI SAF. The new version re-introduces an ice mask to limit areas in which to compute ice drift. This removes outliers along the ice edge and in coastal zones. Furthermore, the code has been optimized to reduce processing time. The data format is unchanged. Sample files along with their metadata can be found here: ftp://ftp.dmi.dk/sat/.
