Dear all,

During yesterday, the processing of GRAS/Metop-A data suffered from repeated resets, starting around 08:55 UTC, and again related to the clock processing. A final manual reset around 12:24 UTC finally settled the issue, but GRAS/Metop-A level 1b data (bending angles) has been degraded between 08:55 UTC and 16:25 UTC sensing times (including the orbit convergence periods). Downstream level 2 data (refractivity and temperature/moisture) as produced by the ROM SAF also were affected.

Data from GRAS/Metop-B was not affected.

We apologize for the extended period of data degradation.

Christian
