Detail: | Update of OLCI geolocation and radiometric evolution . The geolocation is revised to account for continuing along-track drift of OLCI-B, particularly in cameras 1, 2 and 5. With this release, a radiometric evolution model of OLCI-B is now implemented. It is based on accurate modelling of instrument radiometric response from radiometric calibrations based on newly derived solar diffuser in-flight BRDF. The exact time of the change will be announced closer to the activity.

Detail: | In preparation for future improvements to EUMETSAT's web imagery service, changes to the legacy web services are being made. The first such change is the transfer of the current Near Real-time imagery service from http://oiswww.eumetsat.org/IPPS/html/MSG/ to https://eumetview.eumetsat.int/static-images/ on 10/04/2019. The new URL will only be working from 10/04/2019 onwards. A redirect from the old URL to the new URL will be in place until 31/05/2019. There will be a risk of interruption to the service during the indicated time period. For full details, see the URL provided below.
