Detail: HRPT switching zone drift. The Metop-A satellite is currently in drifting orbit. As a consequence the geographical zones, defined to control the switching times of the satellite’s HRPT system, are drifting westwards at a rate of 0.02° 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.
