Topic: GOES-16/17 software patch installation scheduled for September 3, 2020

Date/Time Issued: July 28, 2020 1323 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: Various ABI and Space Weather GOES-16 and GOES-17 Level 0, Level 1b, and Level 2 Products

Date/Time of Initial Impact: September 3, 1800 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: N/A

Length of Outage: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change:

A GOES-16/17 software patch (DO.09.01.00) was planned for May 18, 2020 but is now planned to go live on September 3, 2020. No data outage will occur when the updates go live. These updates will result in changes to various ABI and Space Weather Level 0 (L0), Level 1b (L1b), and Level 2 (L2) products as detailed below. GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) and GOES-R Product Definition and Users’ Guide (PUG) impacts and updates are noted.

WR | ADR | Algorithm | Title | Summary | GRB impact | PUG update
5800 | 596 | SEISS MPS-LO L1b | Make Arc Jet Flag available for SEISS MPS-LO | This update adds the Arc Jet flag to the MPS-LO product. This flag is already in the MAG L1b product. | Yes | Yes
6659 | 831 | ABI L0/L1b/L2 CMI | Output gain setting info | Adds the gain field from the channel configuration status in the ABI L0 to the ABI L1b and ABI L2 CMI products under variables channel_integration_time and channel_gain_field. | Yes | Yes
6845 | 780 | SEISS MPS-LO L1b, SEISS MPS-HI L1b | GPA update for SEISS MPS-HI and MPS-LO L1b IFC leakage | This update adds logic to determine whether or not to perform flux calculations based on how close in time in-flight calibration (IFC) modes have occurred. If an IFC has happened within the past 2 seconds, then processing will not continue, and metadata will be written indicating this occurred. Only the metadata format changes. The serialized output format will not change. | Yes | Yes
6907 | 893 | ABI L1b INST-CAL | ABI Predictive Calibration Algorithm | Adds a flag to ABI L1b instrument calibration files that indicates if predictive calibration was engaged for that scene. | No | Yes
7292 | 1002 | MAG L1b, EXIS L1b, SEISS L1b | Move leap second comments for MAG, EXIS and SEISS | This update moves the ", neglecting leap seconds" from the units to the long name in these products. | Yes | Yes
7321 | 1000 | ABI L2 SCMI | FAA/NWS request to add FPM temps and DQ to SCMI | This update adds Focal Plane Module Temperature metadata to the Sectorized CMI product tile files. | No | No
