Topic: Visible calibration update for month of February 2015

Date/Time Issued: February 10, 2015 1740 UT

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

Date/Time of Initial Impact: February 10, 2015 1422 UTC

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

Length of Outage: N/A

Details and Specifics of Change:

On February 10 2015 at approximately 14:22 UTC, the
    following update of the calibration coefficients was implemented
    in the level 1B processing for NOAA-18, NOAA-19, MetOp-A/2 and
