August 27, 2011


     Effective 1550Z on Saturday through 2145Z on Sunday (approximately
     noon EDT Saturday through 6 pm EDT Sunday) there will be no
     Low-Rate InformationTransmission (LRIT) data available from GOES
     West satellite (GOES 11). Due to the hurricane threatening
     Wallops, VA, and antenna issues, control of GOES-11 will be passed
     to the Fairbanks, AK, Command and Data Acquisition facility which
     does not have the capability to transmit LRIT data.


For users of GOES Data Collection System (DCS) there may also be issues with GOES DCS data from GOES West going into LRIT as well, although DCS data should be available through DOMSAT, through the NWS Telecommunications Gateway and GTS, and from the Emergency Data Distribution Network in South Dakota.


   There also will not be any Emergency Managers Weather Information
   Network (EMWIN) data on GOES-West. EMWIN users pointed at GOES–West
   should switch to the EMWIN byteblaster network to receive EMWIN data
   during this time.GOES-East will remain broadcasting; however, should
   that broadcast go down due to the hurricane, please switch to the
   byteblaster network.
