FYI-- Linda Miller External Liaison Telephone: (303) 497-8646 UCAR/Unidata Program Center Fax: (303) 497-8690 P.O. Box 3000 E-mail: lmiller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80307-3000 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/ =========================================== The next GOES-9 imager motor winding protection operation is scheduled to run from October 13 through October 30, 1997. For this period, the following exclusive schedule will be employed daily to support the special protection operation: From 0423 to 0459 UTC -- no GOES-9 imaging or sounding expected product loss: 0430 UTC McIDAS, GOES-TAP, and AWIPS images From 0500 to 0623 UTC -- routine GOES-9 imaging and sounding operations; exception is a northern hemisphere scan will replace the full disk transmission at 0600 UTC. From 0624 to 1223 UTC -- no GOES-9 imaging or sounding expected product loss: 12 UTC winds; 0630 UTC through 1200 UTC, McIDAS, GOES-TAP, and AWIPS images; 0700 through 1200 UTC, ASOS SCP; 0700 through 1200 UTC, Imager DPI 1224 UTC to 1259 UTC -- GOES-9 routine imaging and routine soundings 1300 UTC to 1329 UTC -- GOES-9 full disk imaging and routine soundings 1330 UTC and on -- routine GOES-9 imaging and routine soundings Expect some imager and sounder navigation irregularities for up to three hours following the daily GOES-9 data outage period. To compensate for some of the lost GOES-9 coverage, exclusive GOES-8 full disk scanning is scheduled daily from 0645 UTC to 1244 UTC, October 13-30. To facilitate image navigation and registration recovery following the special motor winding protection period, abbreviated full disk scanning will replace routine scanning operations from 0430 UTC to 1229 UTC on October 31 and November 1.
