The temperature transition will take close to 2 hours. The IR images and soundings between 15:45-17:15 may be effected by slight striping/banding until the temperatures are stabilized at their new setting around 17:15 UTC.

Topic: GOES-13 (GOES-East) Imager and Sounder IR Detector Patch Temperature Changes

Date/Time Issued: October 18, 2015 0049 UTC

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

Date/Time of Initial Impact: October 22, 2015, at approximately 15:45 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: October 22, 2015, at approximately 17:15 UTC

Length of Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change: On October 22, 2015, SOCC Engineers will change the GOES-13 Imager and Sounder IR detector patch temperatures from their MID set points (84, 85 K respectively) to their LOW set-point (81, 82 K) starting around 15:30 UTC (11:30 EDT), during the space craft housekeeping period. The temperature transition will take close to 2 hours. The IR images and soundings between 15:45-17:15 may be effected by slight striping/banding until the temperatures are stabilized at their new setting around 17:15 UTC.

The signal to noise ratio and responsivity will improve as a result of operation at a lower detector temperature.
