Dear all,

I'm writing to let you know that Metop-B will undergo a planned in-plane manoeuvre on Wednesday, 23rd July 2014, around 12:48 UTC.

As usual, the GRAS/Metop-B processing will experience a reset of its Precise Orbit Determination system shortly after the even. GRAS/Metop-B level 1a (bending angle) as well as level 2 (refractivity as produced downstream by the ROM SAF) data will be degraded data for about 4 hours. We expect that nominal data quality will be restored for measurements taken from 17:00 UTC onwards.

GRAS/Metop-A data will not be affected.

With kind regards,

Christian.
