REMINDER FOR ALL USERS OF GOES-WEST DATA
PER REQUEST OF THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY AND COORDINATION
WITH NWS AND NESDIS... THERE WILL A TEMPORARY CHANGE TO
THE GOES-10 ROUTINE IMAGER SCANNING SCHEDULE. RAPID SCAN
AND SUPER RAPID SCAN SCHEDULES ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS
CHANGE. THIS CHANGE IN THE SCHEDULE IS NOW BEING REFERRED
TO AS GWINDEX /GOES RAPID SCAN WINDS EXPERIMENT/ WHICH IS
A SUBSET OF THE PACJET EXPERIMENT.
THIS GWINDEX RESEARCH REQUEST IS IN SUPPORT OF THE PACIFIC
LAND FALLING JET EXPERIMENT /PACJET/.IN PACJET...HIGH DENSITY
WINDS WILL BE PRODUCED EXPERIMENTALLY USING MORE FREQUENT
SATELLITE IMAGERY... TO SEE IF THERE ARE POSITIVE IMPACTS IN
NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION.
SEE HTTP//CIMSS.SSEC.WISC.EDU/GOES/G10/UNDERSCORE/REPORT/
/SECTION 4.6/ FOR MORE INFORMATION.
A TEST PERIOD WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 2145Z ON DEC 10... 2000
THROUGH 2145Z ON DEC 15... 2000.
BASED ON A SUCCESSFUL TEST... THIS TEMPORARY SCHEDULE WILL
BE IN EFFECT FROM 2145Z ON JAN 03... 2001 THROUGH 2145Z ON
MARCH 31... 2001.
THE EFFECTED SCHEDULE AND IMAGES ARE AS FOLLOWS
THE CURRENT SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE IMAGE THAT IS SCANNED
HOURLY AT XX52 WILL BE REPLACED WITH A PACIFIC US /PACUS/
SECTOR. THIS WILL RESULT IN HAVING ONLY ONE SOUTHERN
HEMISPHERE IMAGE AN HOUR DURING ROUTINE SCANNING MODE
AT XX22... AND WILL INCREASE THE TYPICAL COVERAGE OVER THE
WESTERN UNITED STATES TO 5 TIMES PER HOUR AT XX00... XX15...
XX30... XX45... AND XX52. NOTE THAT DUE TO HOUSEKEEPING ON
GOES-10... THERE WILL NOT BE AN ADDITIONAL PACUS
IMAGE AT 0352Z... 1552Z... OR 2152Z... SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT
LACK OF SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE DATA AT THESE TIMES FOR THE
SAME REASON.
SEE HTTP//WWW.SSD.NOAA.GOV/SSD/GOES/WEST/SCHED.HTML FOR
FULL DETAILS ON THE CURRENT SCANNING STRATEGY AND SCANNING
SCHEDULE.
IN THE EVENT OF OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS /FOR EXAMPLE... A
