This message is informational only, it has no bearing on the operational GOES-East and GOES-West HRIT/EMWIN Broadcasts.

During the annual GOES-17 checkout, the HRIT/EMWIN transponder is on and we have been testing a draft modification to the file format used by HRIT/EMWIN to disseminate DCS data. The DCS Program is developing a binary DCP message format for more efficient use of their available uplink bandwidth. Microcom has been implementing the capability in parts of the ground system, including in the DCS-HRIT file creation for data delivery to PDA and HRIT/EMWIN. There is no imminent change coming to the operational HRIT/EMWIN broadcast.

If you're interested in reading a draft format specification of new DCS-HRIT data files, and inspecting sample data files, they are available on the DCS Program webservers:

1. Draft Revision 2 of the HRIT-DCS file format specification ('Rev2") is available on the NOAA DCS webserver (https://dcs1.noaa.gov ... https://dcs4.noaa.gov) under 'System Information' -> 'HRIT Information' -> 'HRIT File Format Specifications Rev2 (PDF)' dated May 2026
2. Four sample HRIT-DCS data files are available in the same section dated May 2026. An explanatory text file, ' HRIT File Message Summary' is a formatted ASCII dump of the example files.

If you're interested in receiving such files on the GOES-17 HRIT/EMWIN Broadcast, we plan to send a selection of them mixed among standard-format data files in Virtual Channel 32 on Monday 8 June 10:00--16:00 EDT (subject to change). Note that Microcom DigiRIT receivers may flag some messages as having errors, and we do not know how other receiver types' software will handle the files.

GOES-17 is at 89.5 deg W longitude and drifts north-south +- 1 deg off the equator over 24h, due to relaxed station-keeping during storage.

Last fall, the Administrator of the United States National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced NTIA’s intention to recommend that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auction 1675-1680 MHz, a section of spectrum commonly referred to as L-band. This is in response to the spectrum pipeline provisions of a US law, H.R.-1, "The Big Beautiful Bill Act". This law called on the NTIA to identify 500 MHz of federally allocated spectrum for auction. Additionally, the 1680-1695 MHz band was identified as an area for further Federal reallocation. DCS, HRIT/EMWIN, and GRB users should note the potential sharing or public auction of L-band spectrum from 1675MHz to 1695MHz because this spectrum is currently used for NOAA hemispheric broadcasts for GOES DCS, HRIT/EMWIN, and Global Rebroadcast (GRB). It is also spectrum allocated for the DCS hemispheric broadcast aboard GeoXO starting in approximately 2032.

The NTIA has now published a letter announcing a feasibility study to repurpose the L-band spectrum for commercial use, "..including the potential for identifying the full 1675-1695 MHz band for auction."
https://www.ntia.gov/sites/default/files/2026-03/1675-mhz-identification-letter.pdf

The HRIT/EMWIN and GRB Programs anticipate that government studies for spectrum reallocation will request information from us on how these potential changes will affect NOAA and other organizations. Studies may include requests to identify the numbers and locations of users that rely on L-band direct reception. To prepare for these questions the Programs would like to offer a method to improve communication and consolidate information on L-band direct receive systems. The DCS Administration and Data Distribution System (DADDS) has a Direct Readout (DRO) database available for users to communicate the location of receivers and the data types/services received.

Interested users can volunteer this information online using the DADDS website at one of the following links: https://dcs1.noaa.gov
https://dcs2.noaa.gov
https://dcs3.noaa.gov
https://dcs4.noaa.gov

A login is not required. At the bottom of the webpage, click the text that states: "Help us keep you up to date with changes and anomalies!" to open the DRO registration page. Providing updated direct receive information will help NOAA develop a better awareness of L-band receiver use and impact. The current system limits registrations to one per e-mail address. If necessary, please use an alternate email address; we apologize for the inconvenience.

Topic: Notification of Upcoming Orbit Location Maneuvers of GOES-17 and GOES-18
Date/Time Issued: June 30, 2022 1931 UTC
Product(s) or Data Impacted: None
Date/Time of Initial Impact: July 5, 2022 at 15:57 UTC for GOES 17 and July 5, 2022 at 16:54 UTC for GOES-18
Date/Time of Expected End: July 16, 2022 at TBD time for GOES-17 and July 20, 2022 at TBD time for GOES-18 Length of Event/Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change:

NOAA will be repositioning GOES-17 and GOES-18 with synchronized burns to maintain a longitude separation of 0.3 degrees for RFI avoidance during drift and while on-station. These are both slow rate location “nudges”, as opposed to nominal drifts which are faster and cause a disruption to data availability.  Start burns will be executed July 5th and both will utilize natural drift to stop at their new stations.

GOES-17 nudge start at 137.2W on July 5th at 15:57 UTC
GOES-17 nudge stop at 137.3W on July 16th at TBD time
GOES-18 nudge start at 136.8W on July 5th at 16:54 UTC
GOES-18 nudge stop at 137.0W on July 20th at TBD time

There are no anticipated L-band downlink impacts for GOES-17 GRB, HRIT/EMWIN and DCS users regarding the 0.1 degree westward longitudinal drift.  Antennas smaller than 7m should not need to repoint.  Antennas larger than 7m should repoint.Users are reminded to peak their antennas after the nudge periods end in order to achieve the best optimal signal.

Administrative: Update #2: GOES-18 Interleaving Test June 14, 2022, Issued: June 8, 2022 1348 UTC

Update#2: This is a reminder that the GOES-18 Interleaving Test will occur on June 14, 2022 from 1600-2000 UTC

Update #1: The date for the GOES-18 interleave test has changed from June 15th to June 14th

Topic: GOES-18 Interleaving Test June 14, 2022
Date/Time Issued: June 8, 2022 1348 UTC
Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-17 (GOES-West) ABI, GLM, Space Weather
Date/Time of Initial Impact: June 14, 2022 1600 UTC
Date/Time of Expected End: June 14, 2022 2000 UTC
Length of Outage: 4 hours
Details/Specifics of Change:

On June 14, 2022 at 1600 UTC, a four hour test of the interleave configuration will be performed on the GOES-17 (GOES-West). This test is a user readiness opportunity to prepare for the operational interleave configurations that will be in place 24 hours per day during the two periods of August 1 - September 6 and October 15 - November 11, 2022.

At the time of the interleave test, GOES-18 will be located in a near-West orbital slot (136.8 degrees West), just 0.4 degrees from GOES-17 (at 137.2 degrees West).

The interleave configuration entails populating the operational GOES-17 GRB (GOES Rebroadcast) service with an “interleave” of GOES-18 ABI data (replacing the GOES-17 ABI data) and GOES-17 GLM and space weather data. See this table for the key to GRB Spacecraft IDs and Metadata: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Operations/GOES/documents/GRB%20Interleave%20Spacecraft%20ID's%20and%20Metadata.pdf

In order to ensure continuity of GOES-West ABI operations, GRB users are advised to ensure their end-processing will accept a different ABI platform ID (G18 rather than G17) and instrument ID (FM3 rather than FM2). More information on global attributes is available in the Product User’s Guide (PUG) Volume 4 for GRB: https://www.goes-r.gov/users/docs/PUG-GRB-vol4.pdf

Here is the GOES-West data content of each product distribution service during interleave:

GRB: (netCDF file orbital slot will be "GOES West")
- G18 ABI L1b
- G17 GLM L2+
- G17 Space Wx L1b

PDA: ("GOES West" for products below)
- G18 ABI L1b, CMI (no L2+)
- G17 ABI L1b, CMI, L2+
- G17 GLM L1b, L2+
- G17 Space Wx L1b

- Note PDA cal/val subscriptions have additional G18 data access

CLASS:
- G17 ABI L1b, CMI, L2+
- G17 GLM L1b, L2+
- G17 Space Wx L1b

- Note CLASS cal/val subscriptions have additional G18 data access

NODD (formerly BDP):
- G18 ABI Rad, CMI
- G17 ABI Rad, CMI, L2+
- G17 GLM L2+
- G17 Space Wx L1b

HRIT/EMWIN:
- G18 ABI CMI
- G17 ABI L2+

GNC-A:
- G18 ABI CMI

AWIPS:
- G18 ABI SCMI
- G17 GLM L2+

During the June 14th test, GOES-18 ABI data will still be at a “Beta” level of maturity, minimally validated, and may contain significant errors. Nonetheless, GOES-18 ABI data obtained during this test will be advised for operational use, and may be shared without restriction.

During the Aug-Sep and Oct-Nov interleave periods, GOES-18 ABI data will be at “Provisional” level of maturity, fit for operational use and may be shared without restriction.

This test is subject to delay in the event of a Critical Weather Day declaration.

Note regarding GOES-17 ABI during interleave: GOES-17 ABI will be operating continuously until the GOES-West transition from GOES-17 to GOES-18 in January, 2023. Continuous GOES-17 ABI operations will include the June 14th interleave test and the Aug-Sep and Oct-Nov interleave periods when GOES-17 ABI will have multiple focal plane module temperature (FPM) mitigations including the cooling timeline and multiple FPM set points adjustments.

		SUBJECT:	Seeking Comments on Proposed Changes to User Access of NCEP Web Services through December 18, 2020
		The NWS National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is seeking public comments through December 18, 2020,
		on the management of user access of the NCEP Web Services.

		As demand for data continues to grow across NCEP websites, we are proposing to put new limits into place to
		safeguardour web services. The frequency of how often these websites are accessed by the public has created
		limitations and infrastructure constraints. To add new or upgraded streams of data, there has to be a reduction
		in the number of connections into our system. The mitigation will reduce the strain on our infrastructure, ensuring
		a more robust level of service for all users.

		For example, a possible mitigation would lower the limit of the number of connections to 60 per minute for a given
		user accessing any of the websites below. This would be a cumulative limit for any type of data request across any
		website. A "head" request will count towards the limit the same as a "get" request.

		Websites affected, both ftp and https, would include:

		SUBJECT: National Tsunami Warning Center Routine Communications
		Tests for the West Coast and Alaska Coast to take place
		on November 13, 2020

		The NWS National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC) and coastal NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) will perform routine
		monthly tsunami communication tests to ensure end-to-end readiness of NWS dissemination software and hardware on
		Friday, November 13, 2020, for Alaska and West Coast states.

		The intended recipients of these communication tests include designated national focal points, state/territorial
		warning points, coastal WFOs, U.S. Coast Guard, and critical military dissemination points.

		Each test message will be clearly identified as such, and will be consistent with the product changes implemented
		by Service Change Notice 18-94: Changes to Valid Time Event Codes (VTEC) and Event Tracking Numbers (ETN) for
		Domestic Tsunami Test Products Effective April 1, 2019.

		https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdfs/scn18-94vtec_tsunami.pdf

		VTEC codes for the test messages will start with the /T fixed identifier (versus /O for operational messages).

		NWS is collecting comments through October 30, 2020, on proposed changes to its Tsunami Advisory products.
		This proposal is part of the broader Hazard Simplification effort within NWS.

		NWS currently issues Tsunami Advisory products to alert stakeholders to lower-magnitude tsunami events
		that may pose a danger to coastal communities. In some situations, Tsunami Advisory products may be
		misunderstood in terms of their expected impacts to coastal populations, along with the associated
		protective actions that need to be taken. It is proposed that a new way of communicating the exact
		nature of the danger may reduce some of the confusion surrounding these lower-magnitude products.
		Therefore, the NWS is soliciting comments on potential new product options as follows:

		Option A: Tsunami Warning for Strong Currents [with Tsunami in Header]
		Option B: Harbor and Beach Warning [without Tsunami in Header]
		Option C: Harbor and Beach Tsunami Warning [with Tsunami in Header]

		Please see the NWS Product Description Document (PDD) for more details:
		https://nws.weather.gov/products/PDD/PDD_Tsunami_Advisory_Products_for_HazSimp_2020-9-25-20.pdf

		Please provide feedback concerning these options using the following link:

		El Servicio Nacional de Meteorología está recopilando comentarios hasta el
		30 de Octubre de 2020 sobre los cambios propuestos en sus productos de Advertencia de Tsunami. Esta propuesta
		forma parte del esfuerzo más amplio de Simplificación de Riesgos dentro del SNM.

		Actualmente, el SNM emite productos de Advertencia de tsunami para alertar a las partes interesadas sobre eventos
		de tsunami de menor categoría que pueden representar un peligro para las comunidades costeras. En algunas
		situaciones, los productos de Advertencia pueden ser malinterpretados en cuanto a lo que el nivel de Advertencia
		significa para las poblaciones costeras, y las acciones que deben seguir. Se propone que una nueva forma de
		identificar el peligro, pueda reducir parte de la confusión que rodea a estos productos de categoría inferior.
		Por lo tanto, el SNM está solicitando comentarios sobre posibles opciones de nuevos productos de la siguiente
		manera:

		Opción A:
		Advertencia de Tsunami para Corrientes Fuertes [con encabezado de Tsunami]
		Opción B:
		Advertencia de Puerto y Playa [sin encabezado de Tsunami]
		Opción C:
		Advertencia de Puerto y Playa [con encabezado de Tsunami]

		Subject: Seeking comments through August 2, 2020on on proposed replacement
				 of RIDGE I radar webpage with RIDGE II radar webpage

		NWS is proposed to replace the Radar Integrated Display with Geospatial Elements
		(RIDGE) Radar Version I webpage with the Version lI webpage. NWS is soliciting
		comments on the proposed RIDGE II radar webpage through August 2, 2020.

		RIDGE I operational URL: https://radar.weather.gov
		RIDGE II preview URL**:  https://preview-radar.weather.gov/
		**At this time the URL is currently only intended for users to provide feedback. Users
		should not set up operational feeds from it.

		The RIDGE Version II would replace RIDGE Version I of FLASH with HTML5 and
		Javascript with a web-based and mobile-friendly display that uses Multi-Radar
		MultiSensor (MRMS) datasets on an interactive map containing Open Geospatial
		Consortium (OGC) compliant layers. Along with the included radar products, users
		would also have the ability to display NWS long- and short-fused Watches, Warnings,
		and Advisories.

		The web map is optimized for small and large screen devices. Users can bookmark a
		particular perspective of the map or select and save the perspective of a particular
		radar. As a result, there would no longer be a need for the individual web pages that
		display specific Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) products. These
		webpages (ex. https://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=aaa; where ‘aaa’ is the 3-letter
		identifier of the radar) will be discontinued along with RIDGE I.

		For further details, please see the Product Description Document:
		https://nws.weather.gov/products/PDD/PDD_ExpRidgeII_2020.pdf

		The preview geoTIF images can be accessed at:
		https://mrmst.ncep.noaa.gov/data/RIDGEII/

		If approved for replacement, the NWS will issue a Service Change Notice (SCN)
		detailing when the RIDGE II webpage will be supported operationally. The SCN would
		also specify the transition period from RIDGE I to RIDGE II. At that point, the current
		RIDGE I webpage (https://radar.weather.gov) would run in-parallel with the new RIDGE
		II webpage for 75 days to enable users to transition to RIDGE II. At the end of the 75
		days RIDGE II will replace RIDGE I.
		The NWS will evaluate all comments during this period and will determine any additional
		and immediate need for changes, based on public feedback. Please provide feedback
		through the NWS survey at:

		Subject:          Updated: Soliciting Comments on Proposal to Change
						  Small Craft Advisory to Small Craft Warning through
						  August 31, 2020

						  Updated to extend deadline to August 31, 2020.

		The NWS is considering a major change to the Watch, Warning and Advisory (WWA) system
		(for information on this and other proposed changes, see: https://www.weather.gov/hazardsimplification/.

		The proposed new system would remove the terms "Advisory," "Special Weather Statement," and "NOWcast" as
		headlines, and streamline all subWatch and sub-Warning information into a single, plain-language Statement,
		with a few exceptions.  One exception to this change includes the marine Small Craft Advisory (SCA), one
		of the advisories included in the Marine Weather Message (MWW) product and the Coastal Waters Forecast (CWF)
		product.

		Due to the critical nature and use of the information of the Small Craft Advisory and that associated conditions
		 require vessels of a certain size to take protective action, NWS proposes to rename this advisory to Small Craft
		Warning instead of converting it to a plain-language statement.  The NWS regional criteria for issuing Small Craft
		Warnings would remain the same as it is for Small Craft Advisories.

		Here is a link to the current regional SCA criteria: https://www.weather.gov/marine/faq#13

		At this time, the NWS is soliciting specific feedback on the proposal to change a Small Craft Advisory to a Small
		Craft Warning, including the headlines.

		From:       Eli Jacks, Chief,
					Forecast Services Division

		Subject:   Soliciting comments through August 21, 2020, on proposed major changes to the NWS Watch,
				   Warning, and Advisory (WWA) system.

		As the core outcome of the Hazard Simplification (Haz Simp) project, the NWS is collecting comments
		through August 21, 2020, on the proposed discontinuation of "Advisory, "
		"Special Weather Statement, " and "Short Term Forecast" headlines. In their place,
		NWS proposes the use of generic, plain language statements to convey information for lower-level
		hazardous events that are not expected to reach the “Watch” or "Warning" levels.
		All current "Watch" and "Warning" products, used to highlight hazards that pose a
		threat to life and property, would remain unchanged.

		The purpose of this proposal is to address extensive social science research, which indicated three
		main concerns:

		1) Large number of existing WWA products can create confusion for NWS partners and the public
		2) Formats of WWA and other key messaging products are inconsistent
		3) WWA headlines can be misunderstood, leading to unintended protective action or lack thereof.

		More details on this proposal, along with a library of examples showing how current messages would
		transition to plain language statements, can be found in the Product Description Document (PDD):

		https://nws.weather.gov/products/PDD/PDD_Proposed_FinalHazSimpProposal_2020.pdf

		Comments and feedback on these proposed changes may be directed to the NWS via an online survey form at:
		https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/publichazsimp

		Please send questions on this proposed change vy by August 21, 2020, to hazsimp@noaa.gov

		From:    Allison Allen, Chief
				 NWS Marine, Tropical, and Tsunami Services Branch

		Subject: NWS is Soliciting Feedback from Specified Partner Sectors
				 on their Use of NWS Tropical Products and Services
				 through June 30, 2021.

		The NWS Tropical Services Program is accepting comments from specified partner
		sectors through June 30, 2021, on their use of NWS tropical products and services.
		Tropical products are used by a variety of users including broadcast media, emergency
		management/public safety officials, and software/web/app developers. The NWS is now
		seeking feedback specifically from these users on how tropical products and services
		are accessed and used during high-impact events.

		There are three specific target sectors for this survey:
		(1) Users who communicate the information from NWS tropical products directly to the
			public,
		(2) Emergency management officials that use information from NWS tropical products to
			make and message public safety decisions, and
		(3) Those who repackage the information from the NWS tropical products primarily
			through parsing (i.e., the use of software or other tools to automatically process
			products to extract all or parts of the product).

		The survey is available at the following link and will remain open until June 30, 2021:

		https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NWSTropicalProducts

		The NWS Hurricane Harvey Service Assessment Finding 2 stated “...local tropical
		products were not widely used by the media and other core partners during Hurricane
		Harvey.” The assessment goes on to recommend that “Local offices, Regional
		Headquarters, and the NWS Tropical Program should determine whether partners’ lack
		of use of local tropical products was peculiar to Hurricane Harvey or represents a
		broader condition affecting other coastal areas.” The Hurricane Harvey NWS Service
		Assessment can be found here:

		https://www.weather.gov/media/publications/assessments/harvey6-18.pdf

		The results of this survey will be used to gain a general understanding of how specific
		partner sectors use and access NWS tropical products, and to make an informed
		decision on specific changes that may be needed to ensure the products are effective
		and meeting partners’ needs. Proposed changes to NWS products/services will be open
		for broader public comment before implementation.

		The NWS Tropical Services Program provides programmatic leadership for the nation‘s
		tropical weather program, which includes operations at the National Hurricane Center
		(NHC), the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC), and NWS Weather Forecast
		Offices (WFOs). Please send comments and questions regarding this survey to the

		Subject: Announcing partner webinars in June and July 2020, on
				 proposed major changes to the NWS Watch, Warning and
				 Advisory (WWA) system

		Over the past 6 years, the NWS Hazard Simplification (Haz Simp)
		Project has use a series of social science engagements with
		forecasters, core partners, and other stakeholders to explore
		possible improvements to the NWS Watch, Warning and Advisory
		(WWA) system. This research found users believe there are too
		many WWA products, message formats are inconsistent, and WWA
		headlines can be confusing. In particular, the "Advisory"
		headline was found to be widely misunderstood and even conflated
		with "Watch".

		Based on these results, the Haz Simp Team has developed a
		proposal to streamline and simplify the WWA system. A 1-page
		handout summarizing the proposed changes is available for
		download here:

		
		https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/ref/Hazard_Simplification_Proposal.pdf

		All NWS partners and stakeholders (including but not limited to
		emergency managers, media and other private sector partners,
		first responders, DOT personnel, water managers, and other
		federal, state, and local government and tribal officials) are
		invited to attend a Partner Webinar to learn about the proposed
		changes and offer feedback.

		There are 5 interactive webinars to choose from, each of which
		will cover the same material:

		2 PM EDT Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020

		https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2408615867344992013;

		The proposed changes have not been finalized. Our decision will
		be heavily based on user feedback, which makes wide
		participation in these webinars so important.

		While these webinars are for NWS partners, NWS will also solicit
		comments/feedback from the general public regarding this
		proposal. More information on this process will be released via
		a separate Public Information Statement in the coming weeks.

Subject: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Satellite Drift to 128-degrees West
Commencing 2015 UTC, October 23, 2018

The GOES-West satellite transition from GOES-15 to GOES-17 is
scheduled to commence at 2015 UTC, October 23, 2018, with the drift
of GOES-15 from 135 to 128-degrees west. The transition is scheduled
to be completed on December 10, 2018, with GOES-17 declared as the
operational GOES-West satellite.

The GOES-15 EMWIN transponder will remain operational throughout the
0.88-degree/day drift to 128-degrees west. Receiving stations with
fixed antenna installations are likely to experience degradation or
loss of signal lock should the satellite move outside the receiving
antenna’s effective beam width. Users should consider incrementally
re-orienting their antennas to maintain an effective signal-to-noise
ratio and signal lock during the GOES-15 drift.

The schedule of events for GOES-15 and GOES-17 is provided below.
Additional details are available from the NESDIS web site:
https://www.goes-r.gov/users/transitionToOperations17.html
 

The simultaneous operations of the EMWIN broadcast on
GOES-14(105W) and GOES-15(128W); and the HRIT/EMIWN broadcast on
GOES-16(75.2W) and GOES-17(137.1W) is scheduled to remain in
effect through May 2019.

The close proximity of broadcast frequencies and geosynchronous
orbits of the GOES-15 and GOES-17 satellites may cause EMWIN-15
users to experience interference from GOES-17. Users are
encouraged to make further adjustments in their antenna
orientation to reduce interference issues.

EMWIN virtual channels 20, 21 and 22 on the GOES-16 and 17
HRIT/EMWIN broadcasts will not be operational until 2019.
Users are reminded to use products on the GOES-14 and 15 EMWIN
satellite broadcasts for operations, and to refrain from using
products appearing on channels 20, 21 and 22 in the GOES-16
and 17 HRIT/EMWIN broadcast until declared operational by the NWS.

Subject: GOES-13/14/15/16 Fall 2018 Solar RFI

NESDIS has provided the following information concerning the
potential for outages of the GOES data stream, including EMWIN.

The potential for solar radio frequency interference (RFI) with a
satellite downlink circuit will occur whenever the Sun passes into
the beam of the ground station receiving antenna. The Wallops and
Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Stations (CDAs) and
Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) receiving antennas
may experience periods of Solar RFI as predicted below. Solar RFI
can cause loss of telemetry lock and command capability.
