Info EUMETSAT - Message from Eumetsat User Notification Service

GOES-16 ABI L1b and L2 products are partially unavailable. Service has resumed.

Fairbanks Full Mission Support pass. Risk of interruption to Metop-C data production during the maintenance window.

Monthly interruption. Meteosat-11 Rapid Scanning Service (RSS) will be suspended for scheduled Full Earth Scanning and Ground Segment Maintenance.

Planned maintenance activity on Data Store and Data Tailor. Services may become temporarily unavailable during the maintenance period.

Planned maintenance activity on EUMETView. The service may become temporarily unavailable during the maintenance period.

Data Centre archive maintenance. During this time, catalogue updates and the processing of orders may be delayed. Users are invited to check out the Data Store (https://data.eumetsat.int/)

East-West Station Keeping Manoeuvre. Users may experience degraded image quality and degraded meteorological product quality up to a few hours after the manoeuvre.

EUMETCast Europe service migrating from Eutelsat-10B (E10B) to Hotbird-13G (HB13G). Effective immediately, the EUMETCast Europe service is available on both E10B and HB13G. We strongly encourage all users to migrate to HB13G by the end of June 2024. From mid-July 2024, E10B will be deactivated. For full details, see the link provided below.

SARR Transmitter switch-off on 2024/03/20 between 08:37 and 08:52 UTC. The reason is to avoid interferences with other LEOSAR transmitters. The switch-on is expected in 2025 but the date is not yet defined.

From 19/03/2024, the daily Meteosat-9 Upper HRV Window shift time will change from 14:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC to better optimise the illumination for the Spring/Summer season. The 15:00 UTC shift time will remain in place until 20 September 2024 included.

During future OLCI Lunar Calibrations for both Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B starting on 26/01/2024, a new SRAL calibration sequence will be executed. This will involve a long-duration (~10 mins) CAL1 SAR observation, followed by a CAL2 observation and another long-duration CAL1 SAR observation. This will be executed during the SRAL outage periods associated with the Lunar Calibration manoeuvres, so no additional outage will be introduced.

Starting 14/02/2023 20:35:57 S3A will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a transponder in Leonessa, Italy. To conduct this transponder pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.28 seconds over the transponder location (42.61607° N, 13.03780° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 270 from cycle 95 (inclusive) onwards

Starting 02/02/2023 10:28:30 S3B will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a corner reflector site in Spain. To conduct this pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.26 seconds over the transponder location (42.052°N, 0.7300° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 335 - from cycle 75 (inclusive) onwards

Starting 31/01/2023 09:39:49 S3B will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a transponder site in Leonessa. To conduct this transponder pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.27 seconds over the transponder location (42.61607° N, 13.03780° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 306 - from cycle 75 (inclusive) onwards.
