FUTURE EVENTS
METEOSAT 0 DEG SERVICE
03 June 2014
Changes to the All Sky Radiances (ASR) and Tropospheric Humidity
(TH) products
- ASR: Update to the BUFR product, affecting only the ?product
subtype? in the BUFR section 1 which will be changed from 40 to
41. This will allow users to differentiate between the ASR and the CSR
(Clear Sky Radiances) products.
- TH: Correction in the generation of the product, resulting in an
average difference of about 1 % relative humidity.
Test files are available at: ftp://ftp.eumetsat.int/pub/OPS/out/test-data/Test_
