Detail: HRPT switching zone drift. Risk of interruption. The Metop-A satellite is currently in drifting orbit. As a consequence the geographical zones, defined to control the switching times of the satellite HRPT system, are drifting westwards at a rate of 0.02 degree per day. Users near the borders of switching zones might experience small changes in their acquisition times of the HRPT signal. On-board timings will be updated approximately every 8 months to compensate for the drift geolocation. A dedicated announcement will be issued in advance of each of these updates.

Detail: NESDIS Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) engineers will activate switching for NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR Channel 3A / 3B for the period of 15 September 2020 to 14 May 2021. Switching to Channel 3A will occur during this period over the predefined box encompassing the Alaska Region (box coordinates 50°N to 75°N and 173°E to 135°W). NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR will switch between Channel 3B and Channel 3A to support snow and ice detection and monitoring activities over Alaska Region.

Detail: A new BUFR encoding sequence will be introduced in June 2020 for all EUMETSAT’s wind products. For full details and sample files, see the URL provided below. [Rev. 2]: Date changed to 7 October 2020. To facilitate user transition, AMV products encoded in the new BUFR sequence will be distributed on the GTS in parallel to the currently operational AMV products, from 15 July until 6 October 2020. For full details, see the URL provided below. [Rev. 3]: Date changed to mid-January 2021. Exact date will be announced in due course. Periods of parallel dissemination on the GTS have also been updated. For full details, see the URL provided below. [Rev. 4]: Dates of parallel dissemination on the GTS have been updated for the AMV products from Meteosat-8 and Meteosat-11. For full details, see the URL provided below. [Rev. 5]: Date updated to 20 January 2021. [Rev. 6]: URL updated, following the launch of the new EUMETSAT website on 16 November 2020. [Rev. 7] The operational switch to the new BUFR encoding sequence is being deferred from 20 January to 3 February 2021. For Meteosat AMV products, the switch will take place around 10:00 UTC. This means that the 09:45 UTC products will still have the 'old' BUFR format and the products from 10:45 UTC onwards will be in the new format. The switch-over time for the Metop products will be announced closer to the date.
