Details:

GOES Users:
I have received the following information from SOCC concerning the
potential for outages of the GOES data stream including GVAR (Imager and
Sounder), EMWIN, SAR, WEFAX, DCS, etc.

The Wallops and Fairbanks CDA and SOCC receiving antennas may experience
periods of Solar RFI as predicted below. Solar RFI can cause loss of
telemetry lock and command capability, as well as degradation or loss in
the GVAR data.
