Greetings,
Several significant changes to the GOES data being transmitted over
NOAAPort will take place beginning on or about November 16th for GOES-East
and November 29th for GOES-West. Here are the highlights:
1. Cease transmission of all reduced-resolution southern hemisphere
imagery, for all bands (1-16)
2. Cease creation and transmission of the GOES-West Hawaii Regional
sector, for all bands (1-16)
3. Increase the spatial resolution of SCMI Band 13 (IR Window) to full
(2 km) resolution (for northern hemisphere)
4. Begin transmission of SCMI (Band 13 only) for a new GOES-West
regional sector (American Samoa)
5. Cease transmission of SCMI Bands 11, 12, 14, and 16 for the GOES-East
Puerto Rico sector
Most of these are either removals or changes to existing products. However
there is one addition, the American Samoa sector (#4). Band 13 for that
domain will arrive under the following [new] header:
TIRZ13 KNES
Depending on your configuration, you may want to check your PQACT files to
ensure the new RZ domain will be accepted.
See this Service Change Notice for more information:
