ESPC Reported data outage and delays
No Jason-2 operational geophysical data records (OGDRs) available since Safe Hold Mode event at 03:30:59Z DOY 084.
MetOp-A Data Delay (no data loss): Due to a ground segment anomaly, the enhanced timeliness achieved through the Antarctic Data Acquisition data was interrupted between sensing time March 28, 00:17z – 05:11z, orbits 33404 – 33408.
