RapidScat experienced a data disruption starting on 24 December 2015 03:00 UTC with a slight gap of good wind data being retrieved between orbital revs 7174 through 7179. As of 5 January 2016 16:50:43 UTC, beginning with orbital rev 7298, data flow has been restored.

Datasets impacted include L2B, L2A 25-km, L2A 12.5-km, and L1B.

Due to the 7 day latency of these datasets accessible by PO.DAAC, users should notice the first available file following the restored data flow to appear sometime on 12 January 2016.

Concerned data users who are not currently registered with the PO.DAAC email list are encouraged to register to receive timely data announcement updates via email by contacting podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov.
