Topic: Jason-3 maneuver November 16, 2023
Date/Time Issued: November 09, 2023 1245Z
Product(s) or Data Impacted: Jason-3 Operational Geophysical Data Records (OGDRs)
Date/Time of Expected End: TBD
Length of Event: Any impact to products would be 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours following the maneuver
Details/Specifics of Change:
A Jason-3 maneuver is scheduled for 16-November-2023 starting at 20:00:37. There will be an expected increase of 16.977m (exact time and sma increase TBC) in the semi-major axis possibly resulting in large radial orbit errors in the OGDRs. Over any ocean points, this will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the products.
