Advanced users owning an EUMETCast Client station may receive LSA SAF Operational products through the EUMETCast. Instructions on how to access data through EUMETCast are given here.

The Service Status (“User Support/Service Status”) provides an overview of the processing and dissemination status of all tasks in the operational chains. In case of at least one is not OK, the service status appears in red. Right click on the gray area with selected region (MSG/Metop-b/MSG-IODC) and then select Open Link in New tab. Here you will find which product/timeslot(s) are really failing in the processing chains. Below is a short video on it.
