South America Coverage

NOAA/NESDIS operating GOES-10 at 60 degrees West since December 2006. Provides continuous GOES coverage of South America during GOES EAST

rapid scan operations. Positive impact to South American severe storm and flash flood forecast and

warnings.

GOES-10 at end of fuel life Decommissioned and de-orbited on December 1, 2009

NOAA has received requests to continue South American support through multiple international organizations

NESDIS recommendation to utilize GOES-12 for South America coverage by June 2010 Can provide dedicated South America coverage in time for the North Atlantic

hurricane season GOES-12 east-west fuel available for 3 years of operation

No fuel remaining for inclination control

GOES Status and Schedule for 2009/2010

GOES-10 (60W) was decommissioned on 12/1/09 at 1230 UTC due to lack of fuel

GOES-13 to replace GOES-12 in April 2010 Transition plan similar to GOES-8 to -12

GOES-12 and GOES-13 Differences

Imager and Sounder similar

GOES-13 Spectral Response Functions (SRFs) Updated

GOES-13 will operate through Eclipse Sun light intrusion does have an

effect on data/products Recommendation for shifted scans

during Fall 2010 “KOZ” period OSDPD undergoing testing of shifted

scans 75% of cancelled “KOZ” images

recoverable No changes to Sounder Long term solution is to correct the

GVAR to remove the stray light

Why not scan away from contaminated data?

NPP Status

Launch delayed beyond January 2011 Operational products to be made available as early as

three months following launch

At this time, a specific PLT schedule is not established and is currently under review by the Integrated Program Office

SDRs and EDRs will be made operationally available to the user community from the IDPS/NDE in netCDF4, HDF-5, and BUFR formats (radiances)

For current software documentation on data formats refer to URL: http://jointmission.gsfc.nasa.gov/project/science-documents.html

NPP Status

The SDR/TDR Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBD) for CrIS, ATMS, VIIRS, and OMPS are under review and being updated for general public release The ATBD for CrIS SDRs should be available in the short

term NESDIS will disseminate to the NAEDEX forum as soon as it

is approved We’ll do the same when the other documents are released

The NESDIS OSD has the action item to provide “user manuals” consisting of spectral response functions, etc. to the NAEDEX users
