Weekly Operations Schedule
Issued on 28/05/14 at 11:50:34
Seq Nr: 1
Planned activities for week 23/2014:
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
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_Files_ASR_TH_2014-05-14/
03 June 2014 09:00 UTC - 10:00 UTC
Essential ground segment maintenance.
An outage of the Meteosat-10 product generation is expected, followed
by a 3-hour high risk period.
METEOSAT RSS
04 June 2014 09:00 UTC ? 06 June 2014 09:00 UTC (postponed from
the initially planned dates of 3-5 June 2014)
Monthly RSS interruption
Meteosat-9 Rapid Scanning Service (RSS) will be suspended for scheduled
Full Earth Scanning and Ground Segment Maintenance.
Meteosat-8 RSS image data, rectified to 9.5 deg E, replaces the
Meteosat-9 service. The RSS meteorological product service is not
available during this timeframe.
An outage of 15 minutes (or slightly more) can be expected when
switching to and from Meteosat-8.
06 June 2014
Update of the calibration coefficient for the four Visible Channels
of Meteosat-9
METOP, S-NPP AND NOAA GLOBAL DATA SERVICE
Effective immediately
Metop AVHRR Polar Winds algorithm update to version 2.3.3
Main enhancements to the product are:
- QI (Quality Indicator) distribution: there will be more winds with
a QI greater than 60.
- A reduced RMSVD (root-mean-square vector difference) against forecast
- A slightly smaller bias against forecast
There is no change to the format.
02 June 2014 14:23 UTC orbit 8850
Metop-B - ASCAT Gain Compression
A short outage of all ASCAT products can be expected.
06 June 2014
18:55 - 19:55 UTC (Metop-A)
19:45 - 21:26 UTC (Metop-B)
GOME-2 monthly measurements of GOME-2 polarisation (PMD) data in raw
readout mode (PMDRAW).
Near real-time products from O3M SAF (L2 NTO) will be affected (see
SAF PRODUCTS below).
METOP, S-NPP AND NOAA GLOBAL AND REGIONAL DATA SERVICE
04 June 2014 12:33:52 UTC orbit 39564
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.
THIRD PARTY DATA AND PRODUCTS
June 2014
Change to Copernicus Global Land Service products: The SPOT-VEGETATION
data will be replaced with PROBA-V data.
For full details, please

FUTURE EVENTS
METOP, S-NPP AND NOAA GLOBAL DATA SERVICE
09 June - 22 June 2014
Metop A and Metop B - ASCAT Calibration
Outages of the ASCAT GDS Level 1, soil moisture and global and regional
winds products can be expected, during satellite passes over Turkey.
17 June 2014
Update of GOME-2 level 0 to 1b processor to Version 6, with the
inclusion of geometrical scene homogeneity and cloud fraction values.
