Date/Time Issued: January 22, 2016 1445 UTC

<= div>Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-14 Imager and Sounder data

Date/Time of Initial Impact: =C2=A0 January 25, 2016 =C2=A0~= 1600 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: =C2=A0 Februar= y 26, 2016 ~1600 UTC

Length of Outage: See table i= n Details.

Details/Specifics of Change: =C2=A0GOES= -14 (105W) imagery operation will begin on January 25, 2016 for subsequent = SRSOR =C2=A0(Super Rapid Scan Operations GOES-R) testing in support of GOES= -R ABI (starts on February 1, 2016).

ESPC Operatio= ns will NOT be deriving and distributing GOES-14 science test data; however= , users with direct rebroadcast capabilities should exploit this opportunit= y to retest their GVAR ingest equipment.=C2=A0 GOES-14 Sounder imagery will= not be sent over the SBN to AWIPS.=C2=A0 Navigation location for GOES-14 i= s found at within WMO header TBUS09, and is located roughly at 105 degrees = west.

GOES-14 Normal Mode Activities and Operation= s include:

Month/Day - Activity

01/25 to= 01/27 - INR (Image Navigation Registration) start-up;

01/27 - St= art running daily optimized GOES-East Routine schedules.

01/27 - = E/W Maneuver @14:30 UTC (maneuver notification will follow)

02/01= * to 02/14* - Support GOES-R SRSOR (Super Rapid Scan Operations GOES-R) tes= ting.

02/14* to 02/15* - East Routine

02/15* to 02/25* = - Support GOES-R SRSOR (Super Rapid Scan Operations GOES-R) testing.

<= div>02/01 to 02/25 - Default East Routine schedules will be run if no SRSOR= request is received.

02/25* to 02/26 - East Routine

02= /26 - Return to standby mode

* - Transition from o= ne schedule to another schedule will be at 11:15 UTC.

<= div>Please note: GOES-14 SRSOR (Super Rapid Scan Operation GOES-R) schedule= will be generated daily in addition to the default schedule.=C2=A0 SRSOR l= ocations will change at 11:15 UTC daily, as will transition to/from SRSOR/R= outine schedules. In addition, the GOES-14 sounder timing has been adjusted= to match the GOES-13 sounder timing (with the exception of special activit= ies such as Housekeeping) in both Routine and SRSOR schedules from January = 27 through February 26, 2016.=C2=A0 All GOES-East and -West operations as w= ell as any health and safety concerns take precedence over SRSOR schedule t= ransitions.

All new day transitions will be at 013= 4 UTC and daily housekeeping activities will be at 1900 UTC.
