Description
Dear ROM SAF GTS User

Issued: 2012-0702 08:25 UTC

Due to the introduction of a leap second at midnight between the 30th of June and the 1st of July, the observation time of the ROM SAF products were off by one second from 2012-07-01 00:00 UTC to 2012-07-01 01:00 UTC. In the period from 2012-07-01 01:00 UTC to approx. 2012-07-01 05:00 UTC upstream GRAS level 1 b data was flagged as degraded and ROM SAF products were flagged accordingly.

Please see detailed message from EUMETSAT below.

Kind regards
The ROM SAF Team

Dear all,

the POD reset after the introduction of a leap second last night took place as anticipated, although a little bit later than planned.

Data products between midnight and 01:00 UTC sensing time exhibited time stamps which were 1 second off, but otherwise of nominal quality. Between (roughly) 01:00 and 05:00 UTC, GRAS data suffered from the usual degradation after a reset and was flagged accordingly. Since then, data quality is back to normal again.

We apologize for the interruption of our service and the inconvenience this might have caused on your side.

WiIth kind regards,

Christian.
