Description

Dear GRAS SAF GTS user Issued: 2010-06-08 07:50 UTC Due to a routine maneuver of the Metop satellite there will be a short outage of GRAS SAF products starting from 2010-06-10 13:31 UTC. A new message will be issued at the onset of the outage. Please see detailed message from Eumetsat below. Kind regards The GRAS SAF Team Forwarded message: Subject: Degraded GRAS data due to Metop maneouvre on Thursday, 10 June 2010 From: Christian Marquardt Date: 2010-06-07 15:24 UTC Dear all, next Thursday, 10. June 2010, the Metop satellite will undergo a routine in-plane maneouvre starting at 13:31:45 UTC. As a consequence, the GRAS processing will experience a reset of its Precise Orbit determination (POD) system, and level 1 data will be degraded quality for a couple of hours. In particular, all bending angle data will be flagged as 'bad' for up to 8 hours after the event. As the data is sufficiently flagged, we do not intent to stop the dissemination of GRAS data this time; please notify meimmediately if this is a problem for your setup. I will keep you informed on Thursday once the maneouvre has taken place, and also as soon as data quality is back to nominal. With kind regards, Christian. -- Dr. Christian Marquardt, Polar System Product Expert EUMETSAT, Am Kavalleriesand 31, D-64295 Darmstadt, Germany
