Date/Time Issued: July 25, 2013 2235 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted:

Outgoing Longwave Radiation
Thinned Radiances
Principal Component scores
Reconstructed radiances
Cloud Cleared Radiances in NetCDF4 and BUFR
Trace Gases
Carbon Products
Temperature, Moisture, and Ozone profiles
Ash and SO2 Alerts
Global Grids

Satellite(s) Involved: MetOp-2/A

Instrument (s) Involved: Sounder

Date/Time of Initial Impact: July 31, 2013 1400 UTC

Impacts on Users and Significance: Outgoing Longwave Radiation and enhanced level 2 products due to collocated AVHRR
pixels and cloud information which provides the operational capability for sounding retrievals from Metop-2 satellite.

Date/Time of Expected End: TBD
