TWP/MTSAT/X1 - Visible Channel Data Incorrect 13:30Z-15:30Z Every Day
DataStreams:twpmtsatX1.a1
Description:
In order to avoid damage to the visible channel detector by accidentally
pointing straight at the Sun, the scanner is reprogrammed to avoid the
Earth view around midnight sub-spacecraft local-time during the eclipse
season.

The visible channel may contain non-physical data during the 13:30Z,
14:30Z, 15:30Z observations in this time period.
Suggestions: 
Ignore visible channel data during these time intervals.
