Subject: Administrative: EUMETSAT Weekly Operations Schedule, Issued: Weekly Operations Schedule Issued on 14/06/13 at 10:10:09 Seq Nr: 2 Planned activities for week 25/2013: GENERIC SERVICE INFORMATION The EUMETCast Europe service will be upgraded from DVB-S to the DVB-S2 standard in August 2014. For detailed information, please see http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/DataAccess/EUMETCast/SP_2013041693924407?l=en METEOSAT 0 DEG SERVICE and METEOSAT RSS 18 June 2013 08:00 UTC Update of meteorological product generation software This will provide a correction to the Total Ozone product from the 0 deg service: The erroneous high spatial variability observed over cloudy areas will be reduced. The algorithm change also results in a higher number of rejected retrievals, mainly over high-level clouds. The format of the product is not affected. Sample files are available at: ftp://ftp.eumetsat.int/pub/EUM/out/OPS/User/TOZ_Test_Files_June2013/ The essential ground segment maintenance linked to this software update will cause an outage in the meteorological product generation of up to two hours followed by a four-hour high risk period. METEOSAT IODC (*** UPDATED ***) 20 June 2013 Cloud Mask product (initially planned for 14 May) available on EUMETCast.

S-NPP PROVISIONAL DATA 18 June 2013 12:00 - 14:00 UTC Connection testing with NOAA's NPP Data Exploitation ground segment. This will cause an outage of global NPP data during this time. FUTURE EVENTS METEOSAT 0 DEG SERVICE 01 July 2013 08:00 UTC - 09 July 2013 09:15 UTC Meteosat-10 SEVIRI decontamination During this timeframe, Meteosat-8 image data and meteorological products will be provided in place of those from Meteosat-10. The data will be rectified to 0 degree. An outage of 15 minutes is to be expected when switching to and from Meteosat-8. For full details, please see: http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/News/ProductServiceNews/833724?l=en METOP AND NOAA GLOBAL DATA SERVICE 24 June 2013 Update of the Metop-B ASCAT level 1 calibration to reflect the results of the first three-transponders calibration campaign. 25 June 2013 08:00 - 12:00 UTC Metop-A GRAS instrument maintenance No GRAS data will be available during this maintenance period. 26 June 2013 ATOVS Level 2 products from Metop-B available on EUMETCast For full details, please see: http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/News/ProductServiceNews/833878?l=en 26 June 2013 (exact time to be announced in due course) Metop-A IASI on-board parameter update Data will be unavailable for about one hour. METOP AND NOAA GLOBAL AND REGIONAL DATA SERVICE 26 June 2013 Metop-A In-plane manoeuvre SEM and GOME data will be unavailable. A temporary degradation of the quality of GRAS Level 1 products is to be expected starting at the time of the manoeuvre. All AMSU-A, ASCAT, ATOVS, AVHRR, HIRS, IASI and MHS products may have temporarily degraded quality geo-location data after the time of the manoeuvre. Exact outage times to be announced closer to the day of the manoeuvre.
