Detail: NOAA will conduct a GOES-West ABI Cooling Timeline test from 18th - 21st of October every day between 06:00 to 12:00 UTC. During this test phase GOES-17 operations mode will change from MODE 6 to MODE 4, there will be a temporary filename change of GOES-17 ABI L1B products in the indicated time frame. Filenames will start with M-bM-^@M-^XOR_ABI-L1b-RadF-M4C02_G17_M-bM-^@M-^Y instead of M-bM-^@M-^XOR_ABI-L1b-RadF-M6C02_G17_M-bM-^@M-^Y. During the 6-hour test periods only one 5 minute full disk scan will be available per 30 minute cycle with following timestamps (HH:MM) in the filename: 0600, 0630, 0700, 0730, 0800, 0830, 0900, 0930, 1000, 1030, 1100, 1130 UTC with Mode 6 resuming at 12:00 UTC). There is a risk of missing or degraded data during this time period.
