ESPC Reported data outage and delays
ESPC is continuing to receive SSMI F-15 with an incorrect Julian date on an intermittent basis from FNMOC. FNMOC has investigated and reports that the problem will corrected until later today (1-11-12).

ESPC is currently not receiving Cape Ferguson data. They are working to determine the exact problem but expect the outage may continue for 2 or 3 days.

Due to ground segment anomaly Antarctic data Acquisition has been interrupted. This has resulted in a loss of timeless for Metop data between sensing time 15:49 and 17:49, orbit 27120.
