Details/Specifics of Change: From January 21 - 28, 2019, EUMETSAT plans to perform a decontamination of the Meteosat-11 (Prime satellite; 0 degrees longitude) SEVIRI instrument. Meteosat-11 data will be interrupted during this time period. To compensate for the loss of Meteosat-11 image data and Meteorological products, EUMETSAT Meteosat-9 data will be provided as a backup data source from January 14 - February 4, 2019. For a week prior to and following the scheduled Meteosat-11 SEVIRI decontamination period, Meteosat-9 and Meteosat-11 data will be disseminated in parallel. All the while, Meteosat-9 data will be rectified to 0 degrees. Meteosat-9 data availability a week prior to (starts January 14) the Meteosat-11 decontamination period will enable users to prepare for the Meteosat-11 data outage.
Meteosat-9 product files will be labeled "MSG2."
