Topic: Visible calibration update for month of August 2016

Date/Time Issued: August 9, 2016 1852Z

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

Date/Time of Initial Impact: August 9, 2016 1314 UTC

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

Length of Event: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change:

On August 9, 2016 at approximately 13:14 UTC, the following update of the calibration coefficients was implemented in the level 1B processing for NOAA-18, NOAA-19, MetOp-A/2 and MetOp-B/1 for the month of August.
