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.
