[noaaport] Changes to GOES East/West data coming over NOAAPort

Greetings,

Several significant changes to the GOES data being transmitted over NOAAPort will take place beginning on or about November 16th for GOES-East and November 29th for GOES-West.  Here are the highlights:

1. Cease transmission of all reduced-resolution southern hemisphere imagery, for all bands (1-16)
2. Cease creation and transmission of the GOES-West Hawaii Regional sector, for all bands (1-16)
3. Increase the spatial resolution of SCMI Band 13 (IR Window) to full (2 km) resolution (for northern hemisphere)
4. Begin transmission of SCMI (Band 13 only) for a new GOES-West regional sector (American Samoa)
5. Cease transmission of SCMI Bands 11, 12, 14, and 16 for the GOES-East Puerto Rico sector
   

Most of these are either removals or changes to existing products.  However there is one addition, the American Samoa sector (#4).  Band 13 for that domain will arrive under the following [new] header:

TIRZ13 KNES

Depending on your configuration, you may want to check your PQACT files to ensure the new RZ domain will be accepted.

See this Service Change Notice for more information: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/scn22-94_geo_spectral_coverage_goes-eastwest.pdf

Best,
