Details/Specifics of Change: The AIRS and AMSU-A
instruments on the Aqua platform both experienced anomalies this
weekend.
The AIRS instrument experienced an anomaly at 0325Z 9/25/2016
and, since then, has not been producing science data. Level 0
files were being transferred to the AIRS processing system at
OSPO, but these were not being processed as they were not
identified as valid science mode data. At this time there
are no
updates on the status of the instrument.
The AMSU-A2 instrument experienced a shut off at 1947Z

and remains off at this time. It is expected that the

will be taken through its start up routine in the near
future.
