Description
Dear ROM SAF GTS User

Issued : 2020-06-09 13:40 UTC

We have currently experienced an outage of GRAS level 1 data from Metop-A in the time period from 10:36 UTC to 13:36 UTC. This has resulted in an outage of ROM SAF level 2 Metop-A data.
The outage is due to a planned maintenance of the GRAS receiver onboard Metop-A.
There is a risk of further minor interruptions in the period from today to 16 August 2020, please see the message from EUMETSAT below.

Kind regards
The ROM SAF Team

Detail: During the indicated period, the GRAS receiver onboard Metop-A will undergo a series of tracking parameter tests aiming at extending the measurements in the ionosphere. During this period, the number of daily occultations from Metop-A as well as the penetration of rising occultations into the mid and lower troposphere might vary more than usual. Periodic outages of 1 orbit will be possible due to patch uplink to the instrument.
