*Message Issued:* Friday, May 1, 2009 (1445 UTC)**
*Satellites Impacted:* OrbView-2 (GeoEye)
*Products Impacted:* Operational (SeaWiFS) CoastWatch ocean color
products
*Date/Time of Outage:* 23 Apr 2009 - present
*Details:
*GeoEye informed NOAA that the SeaWiFS aboard OrbView-2 entered safe
haven on 23 Apr 2009. GeoEye reports that recovery is ongoing and all
subsystems are nominal. It is not known at this time when SeaWiFS
imaging will resume.
CoastWatch users should use MODIS/Aqua-derived or MERIS/Envisat-derived
ocean color products. Because the MERIS swath width is narrower, users
should expect reduced geographic coverage compared to SeaWiFS.
