Topic:	NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR Channel 3A / 3B Switching Activation
over
Alaska Region

Date/Time Issued:  September 8, 2017 1815 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted:  NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR data over
Alaska
Region

Date/Time of Initial Impact:  September 15, 2017  00:02:51 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: Seasonally (Ongoing)

Length of Outage: See details below; roughly 8 months

Details/Specifics of Change:  NESDIS Office of Satellite and Product
Operations (OSPO) engineers will activate switching for NOAA-15
and NOAA-19
AVHRR Channel 3A / 3B for the period of September 15, 2017 to May 14,
2018.  Switching to Channel 3A will occur during this period over the
predefined box encompassing the Alaska Region (box coordinates
50=C2=B0N to=
 75=C2=B0N
and 173=C2=B0E to 135=C2=B0W).	No channel switching will occur during
the =
summer
fire season annually from the period of May 15th to September 15th.

First NOAA-15 AVHRR 3A/B switch September 15 Rev 583, 258/02:51:50 to
258/02:59:33 UTC for a duration of 463 seconds.  First CDA contact
NOAA-15
 F  584  258/04:33:00 to 260/04:40:12 UTC for a duration of 432
 seconds.

First CDA contact NOAA-19  F  44334  260/01:07:20 to 260/01:15:01
UTC for a
duration of 461 seconds.

Channel switching will stop after May 14, 2018 for the beginning
of fire
season.  A reminder notification will be sent.

The coordination for the activation and deactivation of switching for
NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR Channel 3A / 3B is a collaborative effort
between
NESDIS OSPO, National Weather Service (NWS) Alaska Region, University
of
Alaska - Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA), and the
NWS Fire
Weather Service Manager and is intended to seasonally optimize the Fire
Weather and Cryosphere observing posture for Alaska.
