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.



Best,
-Mike
