Subject: | general-announcement
Impact: | data-unavailable
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.

The algorithm changes include technical improvements and bug fixes, as well as support to the changed data formats of the auxiliary files provided by the Radio Occultation Support Network (RSN). This message refers to the second phase of the deployment which will use the changed RSN auxiliary files (after a first phase planned to take place on 04 February 2020). [Rev. 2] The second phase of the deployment will no longer take place on 12 February 2020, it is postponed to a future date. [Rev. 3] The second phase of the deployment using the changed RSN auxiliary files is further postponed to 7th April 2020. [Rev 4]: The deployment is postponed to a future date.

Detail: | McMurdo annual antenna Maintenance during the following periods: On 26 May in the periods 20:45 to 21:45 and 22:30 to 23:30 UTC, on 27 May in the periods 01:45 to 02:45, 03:30 to 04:30, 20:15 to 21:15 and 22:00 to 23:00 UTC, on 28 May in the period 20:00 to 00:00 UTC, on 29 May in the periods 19:45 to 20:45 and 21:15 to 22:15 UTC and on 30 May in the period 00:45 to 01:45 UTC. The enhanced timeliness achieved for Metop-B data through the Antarctic Data Acquisition (ADA) system might be interrupted. Therefore only nominal Arctic timeliness will be available during this period. In the indicated shorter maintenance periods on 26 May, 27 May, 29 May and 30 May, there is a risk of data delay if issues are encountered during the maintenance. On 28 May data delays are expected.

During this period, the number of daily occultations from Metop-A as well as the penetration of rising occultations into the mid and lower troposphere might vary more than usual. Periodic outages of 1 orbit will be possible due to patch uplink to the instrument.
