Topic: GOES-12 (GOES-South America) Imager/Sounder Patch Temperature
Change

Date/Time Issued: April 2, 2013 1720 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-12 (GOES-South America)
Imager/Sounder
data

Date/Time of Initial Impact: April 5, 2013  0325 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: Please see details.

Length of Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change: On April 5, 2013, SOCC Engineers will
change
the GOES-12 (GOES-South America) Imager and Sounder patch temperatures
from
their LOW set points (90.9 K and 88.5 K respectively) to their MID
set-points (98.9 K and 98.3 K) at about 0325 UTC.

The change will be done prior to eclipse to minimize the impact
on users.
The temperature transition will take approximately 45 minutes during
eclipse. The patch will be controlled at this temperature (98.9 K
and 98.3
K) until September 2013 when it will be switched back to LOW settings
during the next eclipse/KOZ season.

MBCC (Midnight Blackbody Calibration Correction) will also be
turned off
for the imager at the time of the patch temp change and will be
turned back
on approximately two days later.
