Subject: Administrative: Eumetsat Weekly Operations Schedule Issued on 13/02/14 at 14:54:24 Seq Nr: 1 Planned activities for week 07/2014: DATA CENTRE 18 February2014 - 20 February 2014 EUMETSAT Data Centre Archive Database Maintenance. This maintenance activity is necessary to complete the recent Archive Media Migration. For detailed information,please see: http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/TechnicalBulletins/DataCentre/index.html During this time,no orders will be processed. 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/website/home/TechnicalBulletins/EUMETCast/DAT_2082113.html The Operational Service Status Indicator (OSSI) on EUMETSAT website now includes Third Party Data Services (GOES-EAST, GOES-WEST and MTSAT). Meteosat Straylight. During eclipse seasons,stray light affects the way the spacecraft instrument is commanded. There are periods where the black body calibration is performed after the instrument retrace instead of prior to it. This delays files for the time of the calibration (approximately three minutes) which then affects the data timeliness in the same way. This nominal calibration activity during eclipse season will therefore cause periods of noticeable delays to reception of data by Users. Meteosat Straylight Predictions for Winter 2014 are available on EUMETSAT Website: www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/ServiceStatus/index.htm?l=en (See section "Straylight Predictions (XML)") METEOSAT IODC 30 January 2014 - 27 March 2014 Meteosat-7 Spring 2014 eclipse season Slots 37 to 43 may not be available. METOP AND NOAA GLOBAL DATA SERVICE 18 February 2014 - 23 February 2014 Metop-A - IASI Parameter update for Compensation device test. IASI GDS Level 1C and Level 2 products will not be available during the following times. 18 February 2014 09:03 UTC - 09:26 UTC 19 February 2014 05:01 UTC - 08:58 UTC 20 February 2014 08:47 UTC - 23 February 2014 08:08 UTC METOP AND NOAA GLOBAL & REGIONAL DATA SERVICE 19 February 2014 12:59:41 UTC orbit 7371 Metop-B 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. Metop-B EARS-ATOVS, EARS-ASCAT data flow will be enabled from Muscat HRPT station during the week starting the 17 of February. THIRD-PARTY DATA AND PRODUCTS 16 February 2014 MTSAT-2 Due to ground segment maintenance the 21:00 UTC image data may be unavailable. FUTURE EVENTS GENERIC SERVICE INFORMATION 24 February 2014 08:30 - 09:00 UTC Risk of short interruption to the EUMETCast-Americas service during this period, due to maintenance work at the uplink station. 25 February 2014 Update to Metop-A ASCAT calibration to reflect the calibration model used in the reprocessing of the Metop-A ASCAT Level 1 data.
