SOCC has reported re-occurance of the barcode pattern in the AVHRR imagery
for NOAA-16. Once again a MIRP rephase will be required.. the rephase will
occur at the implementation time indicated above in this message..
Users will see scan line drop outs when the rephase occurs. Checking "bit
1: resync occurred on this frame" in the data record quality indicators will
tell you when the rephase occurs. "bit 29: data gap precedes this scan"
indicates the gap created by the rephase in the scanline after it occurs.
