This page shows information on the delivery of scatterometer data for each
available satellite-supplier combination.
Here we define delays to be the difference between the observation time
and receipt time in the Met Office's operational meteorological
database (MetDB).
There are three types of plot:
- A delay histogram analysis for "yesterday's" data, i.e. all available
data in the MetDB with observation times in the period 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC
the day before the plot was made.
- A delay histogram analysis for the last "month" with statistics accumulated
from the 28 previous individual days.
- A plot of data availability in the MetDB, covering the previous 28 days.
A coloured box is plotted for an hour and date if at least one wind was available
in that hour. The number of samples* is printed within the box and the color
indicates the minimum delay for that hour.
*Since all data in a 'scan line'
have the same observation time and MetDB timestamps only have a resolution of 1 minute,
observations are thinned by sub-sampling to no more than one per minute
for each type.
