Detail: | Monthly 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 15 minutes (or slightly more) can be expected when switching to and from Meteosat-9. Also note that Meteosat-9 will be in eclipse season and therefore there is a risk of degraded image quality between 23:30 and 01:00 UTC during this period.

Detail: | NOAA will change the cloud information which is part of the S-NPP CrIS products from the IDPS generated VIIRS Cloud Mask and Cloud Height to the JPSSRR (JPSS Risk Reduction) generated Enterprise VIIRS Cloud Mask and Cloud Height. This will also change the version number of the CrIS products to V2. There is no impact expected on other parameters of the CrIS product. An outage of 2.5 hours can be expected. For sample files of the V2 CrIS products (EUMETCast files and GTS files), see the URL provided below.
