Detail: | [REV 1] change of dates. NOAA will conduct a GOES-West ABI Cooling Timeline Operation from 14 October – 20 November 2022, every day from 06:00 to 12:00 UTC. During this phase, GOES-17 operations mode will change from MODE 6 to MODE 3, and this will affect the GOES-West ABI data distribution on EUMETCast. GOES-17 L2 products (ASR and CSR) are expected to be missing throughout the GOES-17 ABI cooling timeline periods. For full details, see the URL provided below. Users wishing to receive the MODE 3 data should contact our User Helpdesk at ops@eumetsat.int.
