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. [Rev. 2]: End Time updated.
