Detail: Addition of NEDT (Noise Equivalent Delta Temperature) values in ATOVS BUFR products generated by EUMETSAT. For full details and test data, see the URL provided below. [Rev. 2]: The addition of NEDT values in the EPS ATOVS BUFR products is being postponed to 29/11/17 due to an issue observed in the HIRS Metop-A products. For the EARS-ATOVS and the Global NOAA ATOVS products, the change took place on 22/11/17 as originally planned. [Rev. 3]: The addition of NEDT values in the EPS ATOVS BUFR products is being further postponed to 07/12/17. [Rev. 4]: The addition of NEDT values in the EPS ATOVS BUFR products is being postponed to 08/12/17.

After 14:30 UTC, GOES-16 will begin drifting to its final operational location of 75.2 degrees West, and will complete drift on 11/12/17. During the week 14/12 to 20/12/17, GOES-16 will resume nominal operations and will officially become the operational GOES-East spacecraft after calibration activities. No data will be available during the period 30/11/17 to 14/12/17.

Satellites: Metop-A
Subsystem: GRAS
Subject: instrument-maintenance
Detail: During the indicated period, the GRAS receiver onboard Metop-A will undergo a series of tracking parameter tests aiming at improving the signal characteristics of rising occultations. In particular, the campaign aims at reducing vertical error correlations of bending angles in the lower stratosphere, at the same time minimizing side effects. During this period, the number of daily occultations from Metop-A as well as the penetration of rising occultations into the mid and lower troposphere might vary more than usual.
