Topic: Jason-3maneuver  February 1, 2023

Date/Time Issued:  January 30, 2023 1308Z

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

Date/Time of Initial Impact: February 1, 2023 0027Z
Date/Time of Expected End: TBD

Length of Event: 2 Hours 30 minutes. 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 1-February-2023 starting at 0027Z. 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.
