Detail: | A number of Jason-2 fuel depletion manoeuvres are scheduled between 2018-09-25 and 2018-10-05. 1st manoeuvres: The first burn occurred on 2018-09-25 at 00:54Z. The second burn occurred at 06:29Z. 2nd manoeuvres: The first burn occurred on 2018-09-26 at 01:08Z. The second burn occurred at 06:43Z. Potential station keeping manoeuvres: 2018-09-27 at 01:25Z. 3rd manoeuvres: The first burn will occur on 2018-10-01 at 00:26Z. The second burn will occur at 06:01Z. 4th manoeuvres: The first burn will occur on 2018-10-01 at 22:48Z The second burn will occur on 2018-10-02 at 0615Z. Potential station keeping manoeuvres: 2018-10-03 at 06:12Z. 5th manoeuvres: The first burn will occur on 2018-10-03 at 23:16Z The second burn will occur on 2018-10-04 at 04:15Z. Potential station keeping manoeuvres: 2018-10-05 at 05:15Z. Depletion manoeuvres are inclination manoeuvres (back and forth) and are placed over land as much as possible. Sea surface height measurements from telemetry during the manoeuvres is expected to be degraded. In addition, products could be impacted 30 minutes before each manoeuvre and up to 2 hours following each manoeuvre. Wind and wave content in the products will not be impacted. [Rev 2] Minor update to reflect which manoeuvres have already been executed.
