Subject:GRAS/Metop-A data outage on 18. March 2013

Dear all,

unfortunately, I have to report that no GRAS/Metop-A data was available between 18:12 and 19:06 UTC on 18th March 2013. After data was available again, the Precise Orbit Determination (POD) component of the operational processing went through a reset. By now, the POD is converging, but GRAS/Metop-A data will be flagged as containing degraded bending angle data until approximately 23:10 UTC. Downstream level 2 data (refractivity) provided by the ROM SAF is also affected.

The cause for the level 0 data outage were problems in the data downlink at Svalbard where data from all Metop-A instruments got lost.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

With kind regards,

Christian.
