FTP site is back up (ftp-ops.de.envisat.esa.int). The BADC seems to be mirroring the Reduced Resolution data.
All Feb 06 L1B RR data to date may be badly calibrated. It has been deleted from the FTP sites and we are awaiting the latest versions.
" Please be informed that the L1b data processed at D-PAC for the period 8 -
22 Feb 2006 were generated using outdated ADFs, due to a problem in the
ADF dissemination.
The quality of these products is degraded, in particular the accuracy of
the radiometric calibration.
Therefore these products were deleted from D-PAC server and they will be
reprocessed as soon as the dissemination problem will be solved.
The D-PAC OFL processing is now running on the historical data (Jan -Dec
2005)."
Completed O3 and T report for comparisons with ACE.

No progress on isotopes.
DARC has assimilated MLS August-October 2005 data (Ozone?). Looking to get OMI, HiRDLS, TES data for the same perios to do direct comaprisons with the assimilation fields.
Microwindow selection and LUT generation now complete for the ESA species
(pT,CH4,H2O,HNO3,N2O,NO2,O3), the additional HIRDLS species
(CLONO2,F11,F12,N2O5) and CO.
For most cases 10 microwindows (0331-0340) have been selected
but in general it is suggested that only the first 5 are used (0331-0335)
since the information content drops off rapidly.
Continuing problems with broadband RFM vs measurement agreement.
Instead looking at 960-961 wavenumbers ('microwindow'), and can successfully simulate the observed radiance.
Still have problems with the iterative retrieval code, although have been able to determine the cloud top height to a sub-grid scale (~250m) within the MIPAS 3km FOV.
