Date/Time Issued:  May 12, 2017 1400 UTC

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

Date/Time of Initial Impact:  May 14, 2017  2337 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, 2017 to
September
15, 2017.  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.

Last NOAA-15 contact Over Fairbanks:
F  REV 98824 May 14, 2017 134/18:15:40	134/18:23:24  for a duration
of 464
minutes

Last NOAA-19 contact Over Fairbanks:

The coordination for the activation and deactivation of switching for
NOAA-15 and NOAA-19 AVHRR Channel 3A / 3B is the result of 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.
