Upgrade of NRT ROM SAF processing system on 24 May 2016
DATE:   2016-04-28 21:11
TYPE:   NRT-GTS
Description
Dear ROM SAF GTS User

Issued: 2016-04-28 21:10 UTC

Following the change of the GRAS processing software to version v4.3.2
the ROM SAF is planning an upgrade of the NRT processing system on 24 May 2016.
The change at EUMETSAT Headquarters is related to a new format and a new product
processing facility which is still retrieving bending angles based on a geometrics optics
approach (see http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/News/DAT_3019929.html )[1].

Therefore the quality of the ROM SAF Level 2 products which consist of refractivities,
temperature, specific humidity, and pressure will not change.
The format of the ROM SAF netCDF and BUFR files will not change.

Please let us know if you need a test dataset.

A confirmation will be sent out after the upgrade.

[1] Note the planned upgrade will be rescheduled from May 10 to May 24.

With kind regards
The ROM SAF team
