Topic:
Update of level1b preprocessor earth locations
Date/Time(UTC) Message Issued:
6 July 2006, 1815 UTC
Satellite(s) Involved:
All POES satellites
Instrument(s) Involved:
All instruments
Product(s) Involved/Affected:
All Products/improved earth locations
Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
6 July 2006, Time 1650 UTC
Details/Specifics of Change:
We updated our level 1B processing today, July 6 around 1650 UTC to upgrade our earth location process. We are now using geodetic local normal pointing when computing the earth locations provided in the level 1B data. This was a no impact change to the user community. You should see an improvement in the accuracy of the earth location data. The first orbits processed after the change are listed below.
