Weekly Operations Schedule Issued on 24/07/09 at 09:13:53 Seq Nr: 2 Planned activities for week 31/2009: METEOSAT 0 DEG SERVICE 28 July 2009 09:00-10:00 UTC Maintenance of the MSG Ground SegmentRisk of interruptions on the following services: Met-9 SEVIRI data, Met-9 Meteorological Products, LRIT Direct Dissemination, FSD products, MDD, DCPs and GTS Bulletins.
30 July 2009 09:00-09:30 UTCEUMETSAT intends to replace the present operational radiative transfer model, used within the Meteosat-8 and Meteosat-9 meteorological product derivation. The main user impact of this change is a marked increase in the number of detected possible and probable fires in the Active Fire Monitoring (FIR) product. In addition, there is a small improvement in the cloud detection, especially for pixels that were unclassified before and for pixels over the ocean towards the limb of the Meteosat processing area.
***UPDATED***The introduction of the BUFR edition 4 for the encoding of the relevant Meteosat-8 and Meteosat-9 products is delayed until further notice.
