Topic: GOES-15 (GOES-West) RSO Test for Hawaii sector is scheduled for
October 15, 2014

Date/Time Issued: October 14, 2014 1900 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted:  GOES-15 (GOES-West)  Imager  Data
and Products

Date/Time of Initial Impact:   October 15, 2014 1830 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End:  October 15, 2014  2030 UTC

Length of Event:  Approximately 2 Hours

Details/Specifics of Change:  To further improve its operations in the
Pacific Region, the NWS has requested NESDIS to include additional
sectors
to the GOES-15 (GOES-West) Rapid Scan Operation (RSO) schedules.  As an
operational demonstration, NESDIS plans to conduct a transmission
and data
processing test of the GOES-15 RSO (Hawaii sector) on October 15, 2014,
from 1830 UTC to 2030 UTC.  The Hawaii sector will replace SUB-CONUS
sector
during that time period.  A special GOES-15 RSO test schedule will
be used
for the two hour period.

There will be an increased number of GOES-15 (GOES-West) Rapid Sectors,
with decreased coverage for the Southern Hemisphere and smaller
Northern
Hemisphere scans.  If a Critical Weather Day is issued by the NWS,
the test
will be postponed.
