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:Sentinel-3 OLCI Level-1 Full Resolution Near Real Time data will be removed from EUMETCast Satellite on 29 July 2021. Alternative services to access these data are available. For full details, see the URL provided below. [Rev. 2]: URL updated, following the launch of the new EUMETSAT website on 16 November 2020. [Rev. 3]: The removal of Sentinel-3 OLCI Level-1 Full Resolution Near Real Time data from EUMETCast Satellite, initially planned for 29 July 2021, is being deferred to a later date (likely to be during the last quarter of 2021). This is to allow more time for users to transition to alternative access services.

Detail:There will be two changes affecting the Meteosat meteorological products: [1] An improvement in the temporal resolution of the Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) calculations. This will especially improve the identification of cloudy and clear-sky pixels in dawn and dusk areas and will have a small impact on the meteorological products. [2] Several products report incorrect observation times. The reported times are 15 minutes too late for the 0° and IODC services, and 5 minutes too late for RSS. This will be corrected for all affected products: ASR (All-Sky Radiances), CSR (Clear-Sky Radiances), GII (Global Instability Index), and RII (Regional Instability Index). Products will be unavailable for up to one hour during the indicated time window.
