Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

All, Just saw this info about the upcoming GOES16 drift to its final operational location at 75.2 deg, and figured I'd pass it along so everyone can prepare for the temporary GOES16 withdrawal. There will be no GOES16 ABI, GLM, etc data available during the drift (from roughly November 30 through December 14. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/MESS/MSG2691948.01.txt Here are the key points: - November 30, 2017 GOES-16 drift begins 1800 UTC - December 7, 2017 GOES-13 GVAR relay through GOES-14 begins - December 11, 2017 GOES-16 drift ends - During drift, no instrument data will be captured or distributed from ABI, GLM, EXIS, SUVI, and SEISS. MAG data will still be distributed. - During drift, GRB, DCS, HRIT/EMWIN, and SARSAT will be disabled - December 14, 2017 GOES-16 resumes nominal operations and GOES-East operational status after calibration activities - December 14, 2017 GOES-13 GVAR available only through GOES-14 - No maneuvers / special operations during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays - No GOES-East transition / interruption during designated Critical Weather Days - January 2, 2018 GOES-13 will stop transmitting data - January 22, 2018 GOES-13 will reach storage location at 60 degrees West FYI.
