> Date/Time Issued: August 19, 2022 1210Z

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

> Date/Time of Initial Impact: August 21, 2022 2235Z

> Date/Time of Expected End: TBD

> Length of 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 21 August 2022 starting at 22:35:35Z . There will be an expected change of 5.28m 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.
