Subject: general-announcement
Impact: data-unavailable
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: Introduction of a new BUFR encoding sequence for all EUMETSAT’s wind products. [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. [Rev. 8]: For Metop AMV products, the switch will take place at 09:25 UTC.

Detail: Station keeping manoeuvre. The semi-major axis will be increased by 9.5 m (TBC) resulting in radial orbit errors in the OGDRs. OGDR products may be degraded 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours after the manoeuvre. This will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the products. The exact change of the semi-major axis will be known a few days before the manoeuvre.
