Topic: GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager Patch Temperature Change

Date/Time Issued: May 14, 2013 1840 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager

Date/Time of Initial Impact: May 17, 2013 1532 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: Please see details.

Length of Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change: This Friday, May 17, 2013, OSPO
Engineering
will command imager patch to MID (84K) setting from the current LOW
(81K)
set point due to approach of the summer solstice.  The temperature
transition is expected to take 15-20 minutes and may have some minor
striping effect on the first image following the change.

The MBCC (Midnight Blackbody Calibration Correction) and SPS (Sensor
Processing System) averaging will be turned off at the same time. MBCC
will
be turned back on after two days, and SPS averaging after four
days. The
noise may become slightly higher as a result of the 3K higher detector
temperatures. The patch will be reset back to "LOW" again in Fall
when the
sun inclination is low enough.
