=============================================================== I find it hard to believe that Eumetsat have no say in this, although it may be that the professionals are still able to get a good sign

======================================================= Thanks for the confirmation John. The signal has been down for a few hours now. My HVS-2 signal is actually 0.2 SNR higher at the moment than my

I am currently seeing a big drop in the basic signal at the moment in what is sunny conditions. This year the signal levels have been disappointing with a general drop of about 0.4/0.5 SNR and at the

Looks like GOES 17 image data has problems now as well. No data since 18.00 UTC. Regards Ian.

============================================================ On the Eumetsat site it certainly shows GOES 16 image data as red on their service status, but it is unusual that it has not been reported

==================================================================== James I am not receiving any GOES 16 data either. I too have not seen a message from Eumetsat, but I have received a message from O

A message from Eumetsat has confirmed that they have been able to restore SEM and GRAS for Metop A, but I also see that we are now receiving some restricted EARS AVHRR. Good to see some progress with

Another two ascat EARS files sent next orbit from Metop A. Loading in David's buffer viewer my guess is that have probably been sent from the Athens and Muscat EARS stations. Metop A not quite dead in

Metop A looks likely to be unavailable for an extended period, and Eumetsat are still showing all data as red. Yet at approx. 18.29 UK time two ascat EARS files from Metop A are sent through EPS Afric

Good to see the IODC service up and running again, although Monday before Met. products are resumed. Regards Ian.

==================================================== Ferdinand, there was an announcement this afternoon saying that the DCP-service had been resumed this morning, but that was all. There have been pr

============================================================================ Roland Metop C Image and Polar wind data will come through EPS-10 basic if you have requested the data from Eumetsat ( via

=========================================================================== Thanks for that David. Eumetsat have confirmed that this multi Metop wind data from all three Metops will continue to be sen

Further to the above I have pasted below the reply I have received from Pamela. As you cannot point Metop A Manager EPS-10 at both basic and HVS-1 I will probably just remove the data unused. Dear Ian

As I reported on 2/7/2019 some Metop A polar wind data received on EPS-10 (l2d and l2t ) has not been moved to HVS-1 and is still being sent on the basic channel. This means that it has to be dealt wi

From about 16.55 Uk time some MetopA polar wind data (amv) is incorrectly being sent on channel EPS-10 Basic service. MetopA polar wind data is as it should be coming through EPS-10 on HVS-1, so I am

========================================================= John, they did use the satellite at 9 degrees for a while until the move to 10 degrees --- wish they would move back !!!! Over the last few mo

====================================================================== Many thanks David for your fast update. All working well. Regards Ian.
