Details/Specifics of Change:

A Jason-2 maneuver is scheduled for 8-August-2018 starting at 17h24m11s Z. There will be an expected change of 12.7 m in the semi-major axis possibly resulting in large radial orbit errors in the OGDRs. This will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the products.
