On January 7, 2015, from 1500 UTC - 1800 UTC, NESDIS will perform a test of its new DPI product generation system for AWIPS.  During the test period, the following pre-operational products will be produced at NESDIS and broadcast via the NWS Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN) to AWIPS sites:

SBN East Channel

-  Global Geostationary Composite (Vis, IR, and WV)
-  Hawaii National GOES Sounder DPI (CTP, ECA, SKT, and LI)
-  East CONUS Low Cloud Base DPI
-  Super National GOES Sounder DPI (CTP, ECA, SKT, LI, and PW)
-  Puerto Rico National Blended TPW
-  Puerto Rico National Blended TPW - Percent of Normal
-  Puerto Rico National Blended Rain Rate
-  Super National Blended TPW
-  Super National Blended TPW - Percent of Normal
-  Super National Blended Rain Rate

SBN West Channel

-  Hawaii National GOES Sounder DPI (CTP, ECA, SKT, and LI)
-  West CONUS Low Cloud Base DPI
-  Super National GOES Sounder DPI (CTP, ECA, SKT, LI, and PW)
-  Alaska National Blended TPW
-  Alaska National Blended TPW - Percent of Normal
-  Alaska National Blended Rain Rate
-  Hawaii National Blended TPW
-  Hawaii National Blended TPW - Percent of Normal
-  Hawaii National Blended Rain Rate

Not affected by the change in the new AWIPS DPI production system, standard imagery products (e.g., ECONUS Vis) will also be sent via the operational NWS SBN data broadcast.

AWIPS users are requested to monitor the DPI products listed above on your workstations during the test period.  If any issues are observed in the pre-operational products, please report your findings to ESPC Operations at the contact information below.  If product quality is confirmed, NESDIS plans to go fully operational with the new AWIPS DPI production system on January 14, 2015.
