FOS/NOAAPORT NOTICE NO. 1676     APRIL 28... 2000

ATTENTION    FAMILY OF SERVICES SUBSCRIBERS
             NOAAPORT USERS

SUBJECT      GOES NORTHERN HEMISPHERE SCAN CHANGES UPDATE

REFERENCE    FOS/NOAAPORT NOTICE NO. 1668
             THIS NOTICE IS POSTED ON THE SOC CHANGE
             NOTICE WEB PAGE AT HTTP/COLON///WWW.NWS.NOAA.
             GOV/OSO/NOTICES/NOTICE.SHTML

IT WAS DETERMINED LATE ON 4/26/00 THAT THE IMPACT OF THESE
CHANGES ON INGEST/DISPLAY SYSTEMS WAS FAR GREATER THAN
PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED.

AS A RESULT... WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DELAY THE SCHEDULED
CHANGE TO THE GOES-10 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE SECTOR FOR AT
LEAST TWO WEEKS.  WE WILL ALSO BE UNABLE TO SUPPORT REQUESTS
FOR RSO OR SRSO OPERATIONS FOR THOSE TWO WEEKS.  THESE
ACTIONS ARE BEING TAKEN TO PRECLUDE THE HIGH PROBABILITY
OF MAJOR LOSS OF DATA... PARTICULARLY FOR THE NOAAPORT/AWIPS
USERS... WITH OUR CURRENT INGEST SOFTWARE.  A MAJOR
REPROGRAMMING EFFORT IS UNDERWAY HERE TO SUPPORT THE
CHANGES ON OUR GINI AND MCIDAS INGEST AND PROCESSING SYSTEMS.

A MAJOR REPROGRAMMING EFFORT IS ALSO UNDERWAY HERE TO
MODIFY OUR GOES-8 GINI AND MCIDAS SOFTWARE INGEST AND
PROCESSING SYSTEMS.  THE CURRENT ESTIMATE OF THE LEVEL OF
EFFORT FOR GOES-8 IS THAT THE MODIFICATIONS CAN BE PERFORMED
IN TIME FOR THE MONDAY EVENING IMPLEMENTATIONS OF THE NEW
SCANNING SCHEDULES BY NESDIS/SOCC.  IF THIS EFFORT IS
UNSUCCESSFUL... THE PROCESSING OF RSO AND SRSO GOES-8 DATA
WILL BE AT RISK UNTIL THE REPROGRAMMING EFFORT IS COMPLETE.
THE ROUTINE AND FULL DISK SCHEDULES ARE MINIMALLY IMPACTED
BY THESE CHANGES.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IF PROVIDED FOR THOSE WHO MUST
MAKE MODIFICATIONS ON THEIR OWN INGEST/PROCESSING SOFTWARE.

THE LINE/PIXEL CORNER BOUNDARIES FOR THE GOES-EAST AND
GOES-WEST NORTH HEMISPHERES BEING REDEFINED ARE



GOES-EAST
     START/END LINES 3096/8080     START/END PIXELS  9052/22900

GOES-WEST
     START/END LINES 2472/7888     START/END PIXELS  7890/21130

AS STATED ABOVE... THE IMPLEMENTATION FOR GOES-WEST /GOES-10/
IN THE ROUTINE SCHEDULE IS BEING DELAYED AT LEAST TWO WEEKS.
USERS WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE CHANGES WILL BE PLACED INTO
EFFECT FOR GOES-WEST.

THESE SECTOR CHANGES FOR GOES-EAST /GOES-8/ WILL GO INTO
EFFECT MONDAY EVENING FOR THE SCHEDULES IN EFFECT AFTER
0000 UTC TUESDAY.  THE GOES-WEST NORTH HEMISPHERE CORNER
CHANGES... HAD THEY GONE IN BY MONDAY... WOULD HAVE CAUSED
OUTAGES ON THE GOES-WEST AWIPS PACUS... NORTH HEMI... SUPERN...
ALASKA NATIONAL   REGIONAL... AND HAWAII NATIONAL
SECTORS... AND FULL DISK... NORTH HEMISPHERE... AND PACUS
OUTAGES ON THE STANDARD /NON-AWIPS/ OPERATIONS SIDE.

WE WILL ATTEMPT TO COMPLETE THE GOES-EAST INGESTOR AND
GOES-EAST GINI2 /REMAP/ SYSTEM CODE MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED
BY THE CORRESPONDING NORTH HEMISPHERE CHANGE THROUGH
THIS WEEKEND TO MEET THE MONDAY DEADLINE.  AWIPS USER S
SHOULD BE NOTIFIED THAT GOES-EAST AWIPS CONUS... NORTH HEMI...
SUPERN... AND PUERTO RICO NATIONAL SECTORS COULD BE
NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.  SSD S/NON-AWIPS/I.E. MCIDAS/ STANDARD
OPERATIONAL USERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED THAT CONUS AND NORTHERN
HEMISPHERE RAW AND REMAP SECTORS COULD BE NEGATIVELY
IMPACTED.
