Impact: risk-of-degradation
Detail: The Metop-A satellite with GOME-2 on-board is
meanwhile in a drifting orbit. As a consequence there will be
periods in the future during which the GOME-2 instrument will not
be able to carry out its daily solar calibration measurement. The
first such period will be from 26th January 2018 to 19th February
2018 (24 days). During this period, the solar mean reference
spectrum provided in the GOME-2 level-1B product will be
automatically replaced by a modelled solar spectrum using
information on solar activity from Metop-B. Therefore it is
expected that the product quality of both level-1B and level-2
products might undergo slight changes during this period. In
addition, there will be a risk of degraded product quality for
GOME-2 Metop-A products during these days.
