Subject: yearly-RSS-interruption
Impact: data-unavailable
Detail: Yearly interruption. Meteosat-10 Rapid Scanning Service (RSS) will be suspended for scheduled Full Earth Scanning and Ground Segment Maintenance. Meteosat-9 RSS image data, rectified to 9.5 deg E, replaces the Meteosat-10 service. The RSS meteorological product service is not available during this timeframe. An outage of 5 minutes can be expected when switching to and from Meteosat-9. Note: During this one-month period, Meteosat-9 will be the back-up spacecraft for Meteosat-11 0-degree service. So in the event of a Meteosat-11 anomaly, Meteosat-9 RSS gap-filling mission will stop and no RSS data will be available.

Subject: general-announcement
Impact: risk-of-degradation
Detail: The Metop-A satellite with GOME-2 on-board is currently in drifting orbit. As a consequence there are periods during which the GOME-2 instrument will not be able to carry out its daily solar calibration measurement. The second such period will be from 31 December 2018 to 17 March 2019. During this period, the solar mean reference spectrum provided in the Metop-A 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 quality of both level-1B and level-2 products might undergo slight changes during this period, and there will be an associated risk of degraded product quality for Metop-A GOME-2 products.
