Description
Dear ROM SAF GTS User

Issued 2013-11-29 16:37 UTC

The Metop-A satellite will undergo a scheduled in-plane manoeuvre on
December 4, 2013 (and not December 3 as previously communicated).
Please see the message from EUMETSAT below.

A temporary degradation of the upstream Metop-A/GRAS Level 1 products
is to be expected and as a result the ROM SAF Metop-A NRT products will
be flagged accordingly.

With kind regards
The ROM SAF Team

Emne: Metop-A maneouvre on Wednesday 4 Dec 2013

Dear all,

The Metop-A satellite will undergo a planned in-plane manoeuvre on

Wednesday, 4 Dec 2013, around 12:39 UTC

and the Precise Orbit Determination of the operational GRAS data processing will go through a reset as usual. Subsequently, GRAS level 1b data (bending angles) as well as downstream level 2 data (refractivity etc.) as processed by the ROM SAF will be degraded. Products will be flagged accordingly.

GRAS data from Metop-B will not be affected.

In addition, I'd like to let you know that the delays in auxiliary data we experienced last week have been solved in the meantime, our colleagues at ESA/ESOC could resolve the underlying IT issues in due time.

With kind regards,

Christian.
