(Post-meeting note: This was raised at the EUMETSAT STG-SWG meeting, where EUMETSAT were requested to consider this, but noted that it is only possible to drift the orbit slowly, given fuel constraints.) | EUM | 2017-annual meeting | Closed | |

| R.GRWG.2016.3d | NASA SBAF Tool - including hyperspectral deserts - WMO to draft a letter to recommend EUM to shift UVNS FOV southwards at winter time to support GSICS activities (SBAF, desert site characterisation). | WMO | 2017-annual meeting | ||

| R.GRWG.2016.3p | Hyperspectral IR comparisions - Although there were different opinions, representing different users interested, the majority of participants favoured the opinion that there is not really a benefit in changing IASI-A as it is reaching its end of life. Instead, IASI-B should be updated asap to take advantage of the overlap to check the impact and improve IASI-B till its end-of-life, noting that the overlap is crucial to characterise the impact of the change. Of course, changes should be applied to IASI-C. | 2017-annual meeting | |||
