Topic: Visible calibration update for month of February 2018

Date/Time Issued: February 13, 2018 1615Z

Product(s) or Data Impacted: All products from channels 1, 2, and 3a

Date/Time of Initial Impact: February 13, 2018 1336Z

Date/Time of Expected End: Until Next Month's Coefficient Update

Length of Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change:

On February 13, 2018 at approximately 13:36Z, the following update of the calibration coefficients was implemented in the level 1B processing for NOAA-18, NOAA-19, MetOp-A/2 and MetOp-B/1 for the month of February.
