Detail:

Starting 31/01/2023 09:39:49 S3B will start performing SRAL external calibrations over a transponder site in Leonessa. To conduct this transponder pass, the on-board Digital Elevation Model (DEM) altitude value must be temporarily updated in RAM, and is reverted immediately after the pass. A short outage immediately before and after the pass will be introduced, and data should be considered degraded as per non-nominal acquisition mode, for a total duration of approx.27 seconds over the transponder location (42.61607° N, 13.03780° E) for all relative orbits number (RON) 306 - from cycle 75 (inclusive) onwards.

Following the release on EUMETCast of Level-1B NOAA-procured Spire Radio Occultation data processed by EUMETSAT, and L2 product generated by the ROM SAF, on 20 June 2023, NOAA switched from Spire to another data provider, PlanetiQ, on 18 July 2023, corresponding to the start of their next 6-month delivery order. L1 and L2 processors have now been adapted to the new PlanetiQ data by EUMETSAT Central Facility and ROM SAF, respectively. Both L1B and L2 PlanetiQ data will start being distributed via EUMETCast Europe and EUMETCast Terrestrial from 7 September 2023.
