GOES-10 Sounder Schedule Change effective as of 2200UTC on September 1

From NOAA/NESDIS:

"The sounder schedule for GOES-West will be changed at 2200 UTC on
Wednesday, September 1, 1999.

The Sounder schedules for GOES-East and GOES-West do not currently
match.
The change will bring the schedules closer into line with other, and
most
importantly, provide Sounder data for Hawaii.

For about 2 years, there have been no tropical sectors scanned on the
West
satellite.  The change reinstates the scanning of tropical sectors.  To
provide increased coverage for Hawaii, we will concentrate the tropical
soundings over Hawaii instead of also sampling an area further east.
The
traditional names for the scans have been "HUR1" over the Baja area, and

"HUR2" which provides coverage over Hawaii.  The HUR1 sector will not be

activated at this time, but will be replaced by another HUR2 scan.
These
sectors will likely be renamed in the near future to "Baja" and "Hawaii"

sector."
