****CORRECTION in subject line and topic**** We are changing only the
sounder patch temperature.

Topic: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Sounder Patch Temperature Change is
scheduled
for September 14, 2012

Date/Time Issued: September 14, 2012 1842 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: no immediate effect to products other than
unnoticeably higher noise levels

Date/Time of Initial Impact: September 14, 2012 2045 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: See details.

Length of Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change: Today, September 14, 2012, SOCC Engineers
will
change the GOES-15 (GOES-West) Sounder patch temperature from its
LOW set
point (82 K) to its HIGH set-point (88 K) during daily house-keeping
period
at about 2045 UTC. This is to prevent loss of patch control around each
equinox due to dislocated cooler blanket (GIR: PSPOT-0005).

The temperature transition is expected to take 30-60 minutes and
may result
in some striping during the transition, especially just after the
command
is sent at ~1700 UTC. The patch will be controlled at this temperature
until after the upcoming Yaw Flip (September 20, 2012) and changed
back to
"LOW" again on October 23, 2012. We will be staying at "HIGH" setting
a bit
longer to assure faster cooling (less product impact) when the sun is
further south.
