Slow downloads that you could have experienced over the last weeks should disappear from now on. Best regards, Alessandro. From j.e.russell at imperial.ac.uk Thu Oct 5 14:13:18 2006 From: j.e.russell at imperial.ac.uk (Jacqueline Russell) Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2006 15:13:18 +0100 (BST) Subject: [ROLSS] GERB - MSG status Message-ID: Dear all, Just to inform you of the current situation resulting from the anomoly on the MSG-1 satellite on 23rd Sept, since which the GERB and SEVIRI instruments on that platform have been turned off by EUMETSAT whilst an investigation into the Satellite incident was undertaken. Today the GERB instrument was turned back on into a standby mode and is currently warming up to nominal operating temperature. After some startup tests we expect to resume normal operation next week after the SEVIRI datastream from MSG-1 resumes (which is currently sceduled for 10th Oct).

The reprocessing period covers 1 Feb. 2004, when MSG-1 was declared operational, to end of march 2006, when the "Edition 1 software" has been implemented in the near real time processing. The data from 2003 (satellite at 10.5W) will be reprocessed in a second time (TBC). We have started the reprocessing activities in september by a complete rewriting of our MSG1 SEVIRI archive on LTO3 tapes (about 50 days of SEVIRI data/tape). During this preliminary operation we have made the archive as complete as possible by retrieving the missing data to the UMARF, the EUMETSAT archive. The clearsky reflectance images (which are the reference for the cloud retrieval) have been reprocessed for the entire period (2004-2006). We have now initiated the actual GERB data reprocessing. It has been decided to reprocess backward in time starting from the 31 March 2006, at least in a first time. You can check the current status of the reprocessing on our web page in the 'news" section (you may need to scroll a bit) http://gerb.oma.be The reprocessing factor is currently about 4, meaning that 4 days of data are reprocessed in 1 day. We can then expect that the 26 months will be reprocessed in about 5 months. We still have to validate the reprocessed data, to renamed them "Edition-1", and transferred them back to the RAL. It is possible to reprocess some period in priority. I think that Jacqui has already collected your wishes and is setting up a plan for the reprocessing. Have a good week-end, Nicolas. -- Ir.
