Update #1: Delayed the IASI Metop-B Level 2 operation until we resolve the problem of this implementation. We will inform you  when we are ready to resume the operation.

Topic:  The operational implementation  of  IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) Metop-B Level 2 and Outgoing Longwave Radiation  (OLR) data products  is scheduled for November 10, 2015.

Date/Time Issued:  November 16, 2015  1725Z

Product(s) or Data Impacted:

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

Satellite(s) Involved:  Metop-1/B

Instrument (s) Involved: Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI)

Date/Time of Initial Impact: November 10, 2015 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-B satellite.

Date/Time of Expected End:  N/A

Length of Outage:  N/A

Details/Specifics of Change:  The NOAA/NESDIS Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) Metop-B Level 2 data products will be operationally available to its users from the IASI Products Processing System (IPPS), at the Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC). In addition to the IASI level 1 products this operational implementation includes the outgoing longwave radiation, cloud cleared radiances, carbon and trace gases products, temperature, moisture, and ozone profiles. The Metop-B IASI data products will be available to both real-time users and climate users through NESDIS Environment Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) Data Distribution Server (DDS) and Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) starting on November 10, 2015.
