Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Topic: A Test of GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data is scheduled for
October
11, 2012

Date/Time Issued: October 11, 2012 1230 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-13 Imager and Sounder Data.  GOES-14
users will receive GOES-13 data during the test period.

Date/Time of Initial Impact: October 11, 2012 1545 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: October 12, 2012 1545 UTC

Length of Test: 24 hours

Details/Specifics of Change:  The Office of Satellite and Product
Operations (OSPO) is planning  to begin a 24 hour quantitative
evaluation
test of GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data and level 2 products at
approximately 1545 UTC on October 11, 2012.  This will require
a complex
rebroadcast and distribution scenario, where GOES-13 data will be
broadcast
via GOES-14 while we continue to broadcast the operational GOES-14
data via
GOES-13.  Upon conclusion of the test after 24 hours, the rebroadcast
scenario will return to distribution of GOES-14 via both GOES-14 and
GOES-13 GVAR transmissions while GOES-13 returns to standby status.  No
actions are required by users for the purposes of this test.
Results will
be evaluated following the 24 hour test to determine next steps
with the
GOES constellation.

Please note:  GOES-13 is currently out of service with no estimate on
return to operations at this time.  GOES-14 operations and all
GOES product
operations are nominal.  GOES-14 is drifting 0.90 degrees per day
to the
East.
