Details/Specifics of Change:

The GOES-17 ABI Temperature Data Quality Flags (TDQF) thresholds for the t= hermal bands have been updated to the values in the table below.=C2=A0 This= update will make utilizing the TDQF more effective for flagging saturated = data caused by the GOES-17 ABI cooling system anomaly. There will be no im= pacts to distribution caused by this update.
