Topic: Jason-3 maneuver December 13, 2022

Date/Time Issued: December 12, 2022 1307Z

Product or Data Impacted: Jason-3 Operational Geophysical Data Records (OGDRs)

Date/Time of Initial Impact: December 13, 2022 1823Z

Date/Time of Expected End: TBD

Length of the Outage/Event: Any impact to products would be 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours following the maneuver.

Details/Specifics of Change:

A Jason-3 maneuver is scheduled for 13-December-2022 starting at 18:23:57Z. There will be an increase (TBD) in the semi-major axis possibly resulting in large radial orbit errors in the OGDRs. Over any ocean points, this will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the products.
