Changes introduced during production (potentially) affecting the quality of the products

real dateexp datedescription of change
201701242017012412Start of o-suite
201702072017020712Re-activation of surface pressure bias correction after start of the 43r1 suite
201707122017071200No OMI NO2 data received. This is related to a bug in the DOMINO NO2 retrieval code at KNMI, which has affected NO2 retrievals from 19 January 2017 onwards. There is a slowly growing background bias in the product. This explains the much higher OMI NO2 departure RMS in the monitoring plots. Bug was fixed for 20170714.
2017082120170821Anomalous UVI values close to Brisbane were reported by BoM. This was related to anomalous aerosol values caused by GFAS detected wildfires in the area. AOD seems unrealistically high. Interestingly, the current e-suite (expver 0071) has much lower AOD and therefore better UVI values.
