Date/Time Issued:  May 11, 2016 2300 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted:  NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR data over
Alaska
Region

Date/Time of Initial Impact:  May 14, 2016  2236 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: Seasonally (Ongoing)

Length of Outage: See details below

Details/Specifics of Change:  NESDIS Office of Satellite and Product
Operations (OSPO) engineers will deactivate switching for NOAA-15 and
NOAA-19 AVHRR Channel 3A / 3B for the period of May 15, 2016 to
September
15, 2016.  Switching to Channel 3A will not occur during this
period over
the predefined box encompassing the Alaska Region (box coordinates
50=C2=B0=
N to
75=C2=B0N and 173=C2=B0E to 135=C2=B0W).  NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR
will re=
main Channel 3B
(3.7 microns) to support fire detection and monitoring activities over
Alaska Region.

Channel switching will resume after September 15, 2016.  A reminder
notification will be sent.


The coordination for the activation and deactivation of switching for
NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR Channel 3A / 3B is a collaborative effort
between
NESDIS OSPO, National Weather Service (NWS) Alaska Region, University
of
Alaska - Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA), and the
NWS Fire
Weather Service Manager and is intended to seasonally optimize the Fire
Weather and Cryosphere observing posture for Alaska.
