Detail: Following the release on EUMETCast of Level-1B NOAA-procured Spire Radio Occultation data processed by EUMETSAT, and L2 product generated by the ROM SAF, on 20 June 2023, NOAA switched from Spire to another data provider, PlanetiQ, on 18 July 2023, corresponding to the start of their next 6-month delivery order. L1 and L2 processors have now been adapted to the new PlanetiQ data by EUMETSAT Central Facility and ROM SAF, respectively. Both L1B and L2 PlanetiQ data will start being distributed via EUMETCast Europe and EUMETCast Terrestrial from 7 September 2023.
