This periodic change in the bias voltage is part of the normal operations of SEM and is not an indication of any problems.As the detectors age, it is important to increase the bias voltage to compensate for reduced sensitivity. This increase will improve the performance of the SEM TED sensor. *Contact Information for Further Information:* ESPC Operations at ESPCOperations@noaa.gov and 301-817-3880 or ** *Web Site(s) for applicable information: * See http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/messages.html for this and other satellite related messages.
