Subject:

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:

Technology test. IASI will scan with oversampling. The data quality is expected nominal for the entire duration of the test. However, the scan pattern will be changed (i.e. 30 scan positions will overlap) as the swath will be reduced from 2200 km to ~200 km. 4 hours of outage are foreseen on the first day of the test. This test can have an impact for users that use processing of IASI data. [Rev. 2]: The radiometric quality of IASI L1 data is nominal. However, non-nominal geo-location and inconsistencies between the global and regional data, affecting both L1 and L2 products, are currently being observed. Investigations are on-going. [Rev. 3]: Since 22/09/2021 11:23 UTC sensing time, the quality of Metop-A global IASI L1 data is nominal again. The quality of regional IASI L1 data is expected to be recovered on 27 September 2021. For the status of global and regional IASI L2 data, please refer to UNS Alert message #7371.

Detail:

IR Channel data will be degraded for the full duration of the activity, until both SLSTR Black Bodies [± Y] return to their nominal in-flight temperatures. After the end of the Black Body (BB) Crossover Test, a reduction will be applied to the nominal BB power settings to mitigate the risk of saturating the S7 channel. This will result in a reduction of the warm BB temperature by ~0.25 K. There is no expected impact to product quality related to this change. However, there will be increased uncertainties for hot and cold scenes due to the reduced temperature difference between the two BBs.

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. [Rev. 4]: The removal of OLCI Level-1 Full Resolution Near Real Time data from EUMETCast Satellite will take place on 15 December 2021. For more details, see the URL provided below.
