AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL TEST OF THE GOES-10 SATELLITE SCHEDULE

WITH NWS AND NESDIS... THIS WILL BE A TEMPORARY CHANGE TO THE

SUPER RAPID SCAN SCHEDULES ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE.
THIS CHANGE IN THE SCHEDULE IS 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
LANDFALLING 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

SECTION 4.6... FOR MORE INFORMATION.
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.

PACJET SCHEDULE WILL BE REINSTATED ONCE CONDITIONS
WARRANT.
