ALEXI ET is retrieved over clear-sky pixels daily and ALEXI drought product is generated over 1 to 6 month compositing periods each day.

On April 5, 2016, 15:00:00 UTC, the GET-D products system will be in full ESPCoperation and supported under 24x7.

Date/Time Issued: April 4, 2016, 1935Z


Product(s) or Data Impacted:  Operational capability for Northern America drought monitoring from GOES satellites/sensors.


Date/Time of Initial Impact:  April 5, 2016, 1430 UTC


Details/Specifics of Change:

The GET-D products are derived from the Atmosphere-Land Exchange Inversion model (ALEXI). ALEXI ET is retrieved over clear-sky pixels daily and ALEXI drought product is generated over 1 to 6 month compositing periods each day.
