| Description

Dear ROM SAF GTS User



Issued : 2014-09-22 10:23 UTC



Metop-B GRAS data were degraded from 20 September to 22 September due to an anomaly related to the processing of clock data for the GRAS instrument onboard Metop-B, please see mail from EUMETSAT below. It caused a reduction in the number of produced refractivity profiles in the ROM SAF Metop-B NRT products



The Metop-A products were not affected.



Kind regards

The ROM SAF Team

Dear all,



unfortunately, we experienced an anomaly related to the processing of clock data for the GRAS instrument onboard Metop-B. Problems started around mid-day on Saturday, 21. Sep 2014, and lasted until this morning, when the issue was discovered in the monitoring and corrected. In particular, mid and upper stratospheric data was characterized by huge biases.



By now, data quality is back to nominal. Data from the GRAS instrument onboard Metop-A was not affected.



We apologize!



 Chris.
