Detail:Starting 31/01/2023 09:39:49 S3B will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a transponder site in Leonessa. To conduct this transponder pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.27 seconds over the transponder location (42.61607° N, 13.03780° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 306 - from cycle 75 (inclusive) onwards.

Detail:Starting 02/02/2023 10:28:30 S3B will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a corner reflector site in Spain. To conduct this pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.26 seconds over the transponder location (42.052°N, 0.7300° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 335 - from cycle 75 (inclusive) onwards

Detail:In the frame of the Meteosat-10 / Meteosat-11 mission swap, the 0 deg SEVIRI data will be unavailable on 21 March 2023 from 08:00 up to 14:00 UTC. Meteosat-10 is planned to start scanning in FES shortly before 9:00 UTC. However it is expected that a good radiometric quality will only be reached after 2 to 6 hours. Therefore, the resumption of image data dissemination may not happen before 14:00 UTC. Meteorological Products might take up to two weeks to reach a nominal quality.
