wind

Since yesterday we experience problems in the ScatSat-1 wind processing. The input signal levels appear to be too low and we obtain unrealistic low wind speeds.

The Metop-C ASCAT winds (OSI-102-c, OSI-104-c) data flow has been restored now.

The OSI SAF Metop-C ASCAT winds (OSI-102-c, OSI-104-c) are currently unavailable due to a ground segment issue, investigations are ongoing.

New versions of the Wind Bias Correction Guide (v1.5) and the High Resolution Wind Data Assimilation Guide (v1.3) are available now on the NWP SAF website: 

The OSI SAF winds website hosted at KNMI has moved to new infrastructure and this has lead to a change of web address: http://projects.knmi.nl/scatt

ASCAT-C operation has been recovered on 22 jan on 22:10

Due to an instrument anomaly no ASCAT-C data are available. EUMETSAT is investigating the cause.

The data flows through EUMETCast have been restored now.

Due to a ground segment anomaly the OSI SAF wind products (ASCAT and ScatSat-1 winds) are not available through EUMETCast. Investigations are ongoing.

The ScatSat-1 winds (OSI-112-a, OSI-112-b) data flow is restored now.
