GOES8 Data Missing Because of Satellite Problem
DataStreams:sgpgoes8X1.a1, sgpgoes8minnis-acfX1.c1, sgpgoes8minnisX1.c1, sgpgoes8visX1.a1
Description:
The data was missing over this time period because of a 
problem with the satellite - note discussion below
Subject: URGENT! GOES-8 outage to continue
From: jhawkins@nesdis.noaa.gov (Jamie Hawkins)
Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 16:34:14 +0500

NOAA continues to analyze the GOES-8 problem, which now seems to be
unrelated to an electrostatic discharge.  Data now indicate that the
attitude and orbit control computer (AOCE#2) is not receiving telemetry from
one of two momentum wheels which keep the spacecraft facing the earth
propoerly.  A fix has been identified which will require using a back-up
momentum wheel configuration known as L2.  

To begin L2 operations, NOAA will bring GOES-8 out of safe hold at
approximately 5:00PM EST (22:00UTC) tomorrow, Friday January 10th.  About
two hours later, around 7:00 PM EST (00:00 UTC Saturday), imager and sounder
GVAR data should begin flowing from the satellite.  Operational products
from NOAA for the National Weather Service should resume at that time.  

However, ALL USERS SHOULD NOTE that it may take 48 hours or longer for
accurate navigation and registration to return to GOES-8 imagery.

We will keep you informed of any chnages in this scheduled fix during the
day Friday.

Revision History of These Data Sets
DataStreams:sgpgoes8minnis-acfX1.c1, sgpgoes8minnisX1.c1
Description:
Below is the revision history of these data sets, generated by
Patrick Minnis' group at NASA Langley:
NASA Langley ARM October 1995 IOP Data File Revision History
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) data:
   * The data were reprocessed on 22 April 1997. The visible calibration was
     updated using intercalibration with NOAA-14 AVHRR. The navigation and
     clear-sky albedos were slightly improved so that minor changes in clear
     and cloud properties may have occurred. A slightly different
     narrowband-broadband calibration based on a single equation derived
     from October 1986 ERBS and GOES-6 data was applied to compute shortwave
     albedos. These albedos were validated using ARM/UAV high-altitude
     broadband flux measurements from the Egrett. The LW fluxes were derived
     with an October 1986 GOES-6/ERBS correlation (no change).
   * The data were reprocessed with a new visible calibration on 14 January
     1997.
   * The first official version of ARM SGP October 1995 IOP cloud product
     data was made available on 13 February 1996.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARM Central Facility (CF) data:
   * The data were reprocessed on 22 April 1997. Please see the
     corresponding explanation for the SGP data above.
   * The data were reprocessed with a new visible calibration on 14 January
     1997
  * The first official version of ARM SGP October 1995 IOP cloud product
     data was made available on 13 February 1996.

GOES Images Cancelled

Description:
GOES images will be cancelled from August 11 to November 2 due to sun 
avoidance and seasonal eclipse operations. 
GOES-8 sun avoidance operations will begin on August 17. 
These operations may cause the loss of some GOES8 images during this 
time period but will not necessarily cause any losses.

SGP/GOES8 - Gap in GOES8 file availability
DataStreams:sgpg8profX1.00, sgpgoes8X1.00, sgpgoes8X1.a1, sgpgoes8minnis-acfX1.c1, sgpgoes8minnisX1.c1,

Description:
GOES-8 was commanded into safe hold mode at approximately 4 AM EST on
Tuesday, October 27, in response to a large attitude disturbance.
GOES-10 was placed into a full disk imaging mode beginning at
approximately 8 AM (EST) October 28th to cover for the GOES-8 outage.

Since the GOES8 data feeds the minnis products and the profiles derived
by the University of Wisconsin (sgpg8profX1) these data are unavailable
for the same time period that the GOES8 data are unavailable. We did
receive GOES10 data for some of the period that we are missing GOES8.
The GOES10 data are available for 981028 from 0100 to 1800(GMT), every half
hour. We will be processing these files as a new data stream but there
will be a delay until the ingest is modified to handle the GOES10.
