I believe this is referring to the NOAA NESDIS PDA system (I.e. A
terrestrial data system from NESDIS), different than NOAAPORT. Though I
can see where it might look like a typo.

No GOES16 data on the NOTHER feed since 13:45 CDT // 18:45 UTC. Just a
Pre-op outage? or did it switch to a different feed or ??

Hello everyone,
The big day is here! GOES-16 data is going to be transmitted today over
NOAAport/SBN! Sent in netCDF4 format, it’s the day we’ve been waiting for
since the bird was launched successfully into orbit. For those of you who
are eager to view this experimental imagery (and if you put it on your
websites, NOAA requests that you clearly label the imagery as
experimental!), I’d like to make some comments and, for those who have
receivers, a few “gotchas” to avoid.
1. First: I have no idea whether or not UNIDATA is ready to receive
these products, and disseminate them over the IDD today. Hopefully, someone
there will comment on this aspect of it.
2. For those who have Novra NOAAport receivers: make sure you are
running V2R15 firmware. If you do not have this installed, be ready for
plenty of packet losses and false VBER reports . If you do not have a
Novra, but something else…make sure you have the latest supported, non-beta
firmware on it. Make sure you are able to receive pid 108. That’s what the
products will be sent on.
3. For those who have any NOAAport receivers: If your Carrier to Noise
(C/N), aka Signal to Noise (S/N) is less than 17, you MIGHT see
considerable amounts of lost packets. Always point your dish to receive the
highest C/N or S/N, NOT signal strength!
4. If you are seeing reception problems, first check your coax
connectors. They are the most common points of failure of getting
acceptable reception. On cable runs longer than 50’, use RG-11 cable.
The announcement for this was sent out yesterday in a SCN. Here it is, for
those who missed it. Go get ‘em, folks!

From: Joseph Pica
Director, NWS Office of Observations
Subject: Add Geostationary Operational Environmental
Satellite-16 (GOES-16) Imagery to the Satellite
Broadcast Network (SBN or NOAAPORT), effective
March 2, 2017
Effective on or after Thursday, March 2, 2017, at approximately
18UTC, GOES-16 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Sectorized Cloud
and Moisture Imagery (SCMI) will be added to the SBN (also known
as NOAAPORT).
The SBN feed of GOES-16 ABI imagery will be in a pre-operational
validation and testing phase through approximately November
2017. NOAA\'s GOES-16 satellite has not been declared operational
and its data are preliminary and undergoing testing. Users
receiving these data through any dissemination means assume all
risk related to their use of GOES-16 data and NOAA disclaims any
and all warranties, whether express or implied, including
(without limitation) any implied warranties of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose.
This preliminary imagery is being added to enable the testing of
networks and systems with actual GOES-16 imagery and so that
users will be able to evaluate the imagery during this
validation/test period. It is not recommended that this
preliminary imagery be used in operational forecast processes,
especially during the initial months of this validation/test
period. Any downstream postings of these data should clearly
convey their preliminary, non-operational and in-testing nature.
Furthermore, this data stream may be subject to temporary
unannounced data outages during this validation and testing
period. One or more follow-on notices will provide information
on the progress and conclusion of the validation period.
Refer to prior Technical Implementation Notice 15-24, which
introduced simulated GOES-R data to the SBN.
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/notification/tin15-24goes-
r_imagery.htm
Eventually, the SBN will carry a range of GOES-16 products.
This notice concerns only the addition of GOES-16 ABI imagery.
A future notice will be issued for other GOES-16 products that
will be added to the SBN at a later date.
GOES-16 is stationed over its designated 89.5 degrees west
longitude station. From this location, it is undergoing checkout
and validation and is not yet designated GOES East or West.
Nevertheless, the SBN\'s GOES-R East channel (PID 108) will be
used to disseminate the GOES-16 imagery, at least until the time
when the spacecraft is repositioned to its final operational
station. For the foreseeable future, the operational GOES-East
(GOES-13) and GOES-West (GOES-15) data will remain unchanged on
SBN PIDs 102 (for CONUS imagery) and 104 (for OCONUS imagery).
The WMO headers for the GOES-16 imagery are as follows, with
references to the 11 character template:
Template: T1 T2 A1 A2 ii CCCC
T1 = T
T2 = I
A1 = R for large-scale (non-mesoscale) sectors
= S for mesoscale sectors
A2 Where A1=R, for large-scale (non-mesoscale) sectors, A2
corresponds to geographical sectors as follows:
= A for the Alaska Regional sector
= E for the East CONUS sector
= H for the Hawaii Regional sector
= P for the Puerto Rico Regional sector
= S for the East Full Disk
= T for the West Full Disk
= W for the West CONUS sector
Where A1=S, for mesoscale sectors, A2 values corresponds
to geographical latitude/longitude areas as follows:
= A for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and
120 deg. W < Long. <= 135 deg W
= B for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and
105 deg. W < Long. <= 120 deg. W
= C for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and
90 deg. W < Long. <= 105 deg. W
= D for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and
75 deg. W < Long. <= 90 deg. W
= E for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and
60 deg. W < Long. <= 75 deg. W
= F for 30 deg. N <= Lat. < 45 deg. N and
120 deg. W < Long. <= 135 deg. W
= G for 30 deg. N <= Lat. < 45 deg. N and
105 deg. W < Long. <= 120 deg. W
= H for 30 deg. N <= Lat. < 45 deg. N and
90 deg. W < Long. <= 105 deg. W
= I for 30 deg. N <= Lat. < 45 deg. N and
75 deg. W < Long. <= 90 deg. W
= J for 30 deg. N <= Lat. < 45 deg. N and
60 deg. W < Long. <= 75 deg. W
= K for 15 deg. N <= Lat. < 30 deg. N and
120 deg. W < Long. <= 135 deg. W
= L for 15 deg. N <= Lat. < 30 deg. N and
105 deg. W < Long. <= 120 deg. W
= M for 15 deg. N <= Lat. < 30 deg. N and
90 deg. W < Long. <= 105 deg. W
= N for 15 deg. N <= Lat. < 30 deg. N and
75 deg. W < Long. <= 90 deg. W
= O for 15 deg. N <= Lat. < 30 deg. N and
60 deg. W < Long. <= 75 deg. W
= P for 0 deg. N <= Lat. < 15 deg. N and
90 deg. W < Long. <= 135 deg. W
= Q for 0 deg. N <= Lat. < 15 deg. N and
60 deg. W < Long. <= 90 deg. W
= R for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 90 deg. N and
135 deg. W < Long. <= 180 deg. W
= S for 0 deg. N <= Lat. < 45 deg. N and
135 deg. W < Long. <= 180 deg. W
= T for 60 deg. N <= Lat. < 90 deg. N and
90 deg. E < Long. <= 135 deg. W
= U for 0 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and
90 deg. E < Long. <= 60 deg. W
= V for 0 deg. N <= Lat. < 90 deg. N and
180 deg. W < Long. <= 90 deg. E
= W and X are reserved for future use
= Y for 90 deg. S <= Lat. < 0 deg. S and
105 deg. W < Long. <= 90 deg. E
= Z for 90 deg. S <= Lat. < 0 deg. S and
90 deg. E < Long. <= 105 deg. W
Where mesoscale boxes T, U and Z extend across the prime
meridian (0 deg. longitude) and boxes V and Y extend across the
International Dateline (180 deg. longitude). Sector boundaries
of 0 deg. N or 0 deg. S refer to the equator. The "<=" symbols
refer to "less than or equal to." Note that some of the regions
above are out of range from GOES-16 at its current location, but
these regions could be within range after the satellites
station changes.
ii = ABI channel number (01 - 16); between the ii and CCCC is
a space
CCCC = KNES (signifies that NESDIS is the creating data
center)
During this test and evaluation period, some sectors will be
unavailable, and the set of available sectors will change.
Until recently, these headers had been used to disseminate
simulated imagery on the GOES-R East channel for GOES-R testing.
Tests of simulated GOES-R Series imagery will occur, at times,
on the GOESR West channel of the SBN.
The file format for these products is netCDF4.
Additional information about this new data stream (including
headers, file-format descriptions, sector definitions, sample
files and further information) has been posted at the following
web site and will be periodically updated:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/noaaport/html/GOES_R.shtml
Critical weather or other factors could delay the activation of
these products on the SBN.
