Topic: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Sounder Patch Temperature Change is
scheduled
for October 23, 2012
Date/Time Issued: October 23, 2012 1440 UTC
Product(s) or Data Impacted: Potential for degradation of GOES-15
(GOES-West) Sounder Data & Derived Products
Date/Time of Initial Impact: October 23, 2012 2045 UTC
Date/Time of Expected End: Between October 23, 2012 2345 UTC and
October
24, 2012 0045 UTC
Length of Outage: 3-4 Hours
Details/Specifics of Change:
On October 23, 2012 (DOY 297) at 2045 UTC, the GOES-15 Sounder patch
temperature will be changed from its HIGH set point (88K) to its LOW
set-point (82K). The temperature transition is expected to take
3-4 hours.
There may be some data degradation initially (venetian blinding
depending
on the rate of change) until the patch settles at its new temperature
setting. The signal to noise ratio will improve as a result of
operation
at a lower patch (detector) temperature. The sounder patch will be
controlled at this temperature (82K) until around March 10-15, 2013
when it
will be set back to HIGH again prior to the Spring Equinox and the
Yaw Flip
maneuver.
