Aqua MODIS Data Anomaly Resolved.

Direct Broadcast Users,

The Aqua anomaly affecting the time stamp of MODIS and CERES data has been resolved as of 222/20:56:05 UTC. The MODIS and CERES packet time stamps have been verified and are now showing the correct time stamp.

Analysis indicates that the time stamps were incorrect for MODIS/CERES from 221/04:49:10 – 222/20:56:05 UTC.

At the start of the anomaly, time generation reverted to an epoch time of 1958/001/00:00:00 (YEAR/DOY/HH:mm:ss) and continued to count until the anomaly was resolved.
