Update #18   There is no change in the status of GOES-13.

Update #17  This is a follow up on products with outstanding issues. GOES-14 product processing and distribution continues to be nominal. No new impacts due to the GOES-13 anomaly and GOES-14 activation. Routine and rapid scan (RSO) imaging schedules are available for GOES-14. GOES-14 is stationary at 105 degrees West with no current plans to drift east. GOES-13 remains in an Earth pointing nominal attitude with the Imager and Sounder in Standby modes while the September 23 anomaly is being investigated. No estimate on return to operations at this time. Cause and corrective actions are under investigation. Engineers and managers are also discussing the results from the test data analysis and future way forward.

* ADT (Advanced Dvorak Technique) - Is now confirmed for GOES-14.
* High Density Winds for Sounder WV - GOES-14 satellite ID typo was fixed.
* SFOV DPI (Derived Products Images) - GOES-14 calibration tables were updated.
* SFOV Skew-T - GOES-14 calibration tables were updated.
* The GOES-14 AWIPS Puerto Rico Sectors are nominal for all time periods.
* Volcano PCI (Principal Component Imagery) - updated for GOES-14.

The only products that still have not reached normal GOES-14 operational status are those that require 30 days of continuous satellite location.
* ASDTA SMOKE (Automated Smoke Detection and Tracking Algorithm)
* GASP (GOES Aerosol and Smoke Product)
* GEO-SST (No NETCDF format)
* GSIP-FD (GOES Surface Insolation Product-Full Disk)

Some SAB interpretive analysis products are functioning normally, but are challenged due to the GOES-14 perspective at 105 degrees as opposed to the more complementary (to GOES-West) perspective of a typical GOES-East at 75 degrees:
* HMS (Hazard Mapping System) Fire and Smoke Detection
* Tropical Cyclone Intensity & Location

Update#16:  A comprehensive list of product impacts is provided in this notification. GOES-13 remains in an Earth pointing nominal attitude with the Imager and Sounder in Standby modes while the September 23 anomaly is being investigated. No estimate on return to operations at this time. Cause and corrective actions are under investigation.
