A specific acquisition sequence of the SWIM instrument will be effective from 2024 January the 12th to February the 7th, which corresponds to CFOSAT orbital cycles 147 and 148.
During this period, the macrocycle, i.e. the sequence of beams illuminated, will be 0°, 2°, 10°, 10°, 10°, instead of the usual 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, 10° sequence.
This specific programming of the instrument aims at getting data to analyze the impact and possibilities linked to the repeated sampling of the 10° beam on the Wave spectra and derived parameters performance.
Products will be delivered as usual during the period.
After the 7th of February, the instrument will come back to usual programming (0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, 10°).
