    GRAS data products

    GRAS products

    The near-real-time products

    The GRAS Level-1 products are processed in the Eumetsat Polar System (EPS) Core Ground Segment (CGS) located at Eumetsat in Darmstadt, Germany. Level-1b products from the EPS GRAS mission will be disseminated to the operational users of meteorological data within 2 h 15 min of the observation. All GRAS Level-1 products are to be archived and will be available to users via the Unified Meteorological Archive and Retrieval Facility (UMARF) from the EPS CGS. Level 2 products will be delivered within two hours by GRAS Satellite Application Facility (GRAS-SAF).

    Level 1 products Level 2 products
    Residual phase data Refractivity profiles
    Sounding occultation table Temperature profiles
    Navigation data Moisture profiles
    Total bending angle as a function of the impact parameter at L1 and L2 Pressure profiles
