Impact: | data-degraded
Detail: | The altitude information in the altimetry products may be degraded for the duration of the manoeuvre. The radiometer data in the radiometer and altimetry products may be degraded for the duration between the attitude mode transitions. This will affect the sea surface height, but not the wind and wave content in the altimetry products. During the slews, radio occultation data will be degraded.
