Topic: GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager and Sounder Patch Temperatures Change

Date/Time Issued: April 15, 2014 1520 UTC

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

Date/Time of Initial Impact: April 23, 2014 1534 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: Please see details.

Length of Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change: On April 23, 2014, SOCC Engineers
will change
GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager and Sounder patch temperatures from
their LOW
set point (80.9 and 82.1 K respectively) to their MID set-point
(83.9 and
85 K) at about 1534 UTC (11:34 am EDT) during daily house-keeping
period.

The temperature transition will take approximately 15-20 minutes and is
expected to be over before the Imager and Sounder begin scanning again
after the house-keeping period.

This temperature change is necessary to keep patch temperature
in control
during the summer months when the sun is on the same hemisphere as our
instrument coolers and radiate more heat into the instruments. The
patch
temperatures will be reset back to LOW settings again during the Fall
eclipse season.
