Detail: | HRPT switching zone drift. Risk of interruption. The Metop-A satellite is currently in drifting orbit. As a consequence the geographical zones, defined to control the switching times of the satellite HRPT system, are drifting westwards at a rate of 0.02 degree per day. Users near the borders of switching zones might experience small changes in their acquisition times of the HRPT signal. On-board timings will be updated approximately every 8 months to compensate for the drift geolocation. A dedicated announcement will be issued in advance of each of these updates.

Subject: | instrument-special-operation
Impact: | risk-of-interruption
Detail: | On 2020/10/14 at 9:20 UTC, the Sentinel-3A SLSTR Cold Finger temperature will be increased from 78.5K to 79.5K to mitigate aging effect on the instrument and maximise instrument availability. This will result in a small increase in NEdT to TIR channels, as well as small changes to the calculated brightness temperature due to a wavelength shift in the channel spectral response function. Sea surface temperature users should ensure they always apply the SSES to minimise the impact of the change (more information can be found in the SLSTR L2 Product Notices – see URL provided below). Please note the SSES will not be optimal for the first few weeks after the update and will be further refined over time as knowledge of the new configuration is gained. As a result of this instrument special operation, there will be a risk period until 10:35 UTC on 14.10.2020. Should instrument decontamination be needed, there would be a risk of interruption to SLSTR (all channels) lasting until at least 21.10.2020.

Detail: | HRPT switching zone update. Risk of interruption. An update of the Metop-A on-board HRPT switching zones timings will be performed to compensate for the zone drift in geolocation due to the spacecraft drifting orbit. This will result in a shift in HRPT switching zones by 6 degree eastward. HRPT users near the borders of switching zones may experience degradation in service availability for Metop-A HRPT.
