Subject: ground-segment-anomaly Impact: data-degraded Detail: GRAS level 1 BUFR data on GTS has been corrupted since the upgrade of the GRAS Radio Occultation Level 1b processing to Wave Optics (Ann. Nr. 2240). As a consequence, GRAS Level 1 processing has been temporarily rolled back to the previous version (4.3, geometrical optics) on 21/10/2016 at 09:37 UTC sensing time for Metop-A and at 12:14 UTC for Metop-B.

Component: channel-15
Subject: anomaly
Impact: data-unavailable
Detail: Investigation is on-going. [Rev. 2]: Further investigations about potential root causes are on-going. As a consequence, Metop-B AMSU-A channel 15 (89 GHz) data will remain unusable until further notice. In the meantime, users are encouraged to assimilate Metop-B MHS channel 1 measurements, which also provide sensing information in the 89 GHz frequency range. [Rev. 3]: AMSU-A channel 15 anomaly is also causing ATOVS Sounding product degradation.
