A temporary degradation of the upstream Metop-B/GRAS Level 1 products

Dear all,

Metop-B will undergo a planned in-plane manoeuvre around 12:59 UTC.

As usual, the Precise Orbit Determination system of the GRAS processing will be reset shortly after the event, causing a 4 hour period of degraded bending angle data quality. We expect that Metop-B data will be of nominal quality again shortly after 17:00 UTC. The data will be flagged accordingly.

GRAS data from Metop-A will not be affected.

With kind regards from Eumetsat,

Christian Marquardt.
