Topic: GOES-9 to MTSAT-1R Transition
Message Issued: November 3, 2005, 2030 UTC
Satellites Impacted: GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R
Products Impacted: Current GOES-9 Imagery and access of MTSAT-1R data and products via SSD/ESPC
Date/Time of Initial Impact: November 15, 2005

-----------------------------------------

Details:

NOAA's operation of GOES-9 as the operational West Pacific Geostationary satellite at 155 degrees East will terminate on November 15, 2005. The Japanese Meteorological Agency's MTSAT-1R, launched in February 2005 and placed at 140 degrees East, was declared operational by JMA on June 28, 2005.

Agencies and users with operational interests for satellite weather surveillance in the West Pacific, Eastern Asia, or Australia should already be receiving MTSAT-1R HiRID data via direct broadcast, DOMSAT, or from SSD/ESPC (formerly SSD/SATEPS).

Information on the operation, scheduling, imager channels, and other data from MTSAT-1R can be found at the JMA Satellite Activities website at: http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/satellite/index.html

SSD/ESPC users receiving GOES-9 data can access the new MTSAT-1R HiRID datasets via McIDAS from the following server:

DATALOC  ADD  MTS  140.90.195.191

The satellite currently has three sectors that have been put into the following datasets - the data group for all MTSAT imagery is MTS

Full Disk:_
_MTGLOB01V
MTGLOB04I2
MTGLOB04I3
MTGLOB04I4
MTGLOB04I5

Northern Hemisphere:
MTNHEM01V
MTNHEM04I2
MTNHEM04I3
MTNHEM04I4
MTNHEM04I5

Southern Hemisphere:
MTSHEM01V
MTSHEM04I2
MTSHEM04I3
MTSHEM04I4
MTSHEM04I5

The following remaps are being produced on the server:
MTHIML10V MTINDN17I2
MTINDN17I3
MTINDN17I4
MTINDN17V
MTKAMC10V
MTNCPC20I2
MTNCPC20I3
MTNCPC20I4
MTNCPC20V
MTNWPC20I2
MTNWPC20I3
MTNWPC20I4
MTNWPC20V

There will also be new areas for special derived imagery for volcanic ash detection. These images will be added to the volcano products server (DPD server at gp12.ssd.nesdis.noaa.gov), contact me for more information.

MTSAT-1R data will also be made available on the public FTP and McIDAS server gp16.ssd.nesdis.noaa.gov

NOAA and other U.S. Government agencies are working to procure hardware for the MTSAT-1R HRIT (3.5 Mbps) data stream. Information will be passed onto users when details are known.
