FROM: WILLIAM BURNETT, PHD
ACTING DIRECTOR, NWS OFFICE OF OBSERVATIONS
SUBJECT: UPDATED: OPERATIONAL TRANSITION OF THE GOES-19
SATELLITE TO BECOME GOES-EAST ON OR AFTER APRIL 7, 2025
UPDATED TO REFLECT THE OPERATIONAL TRANSITION IS DELAYED FROM
APRIL 4, 2025, DUE TO CRITICAL WEATHER DAY.
ON OR AFTER APRIL 7, 2025, AT APPROXIMATELY 15:10 UTC, GOES-19,
THE NEWEST SATELLITE IN THE GEOSTATIONARY OPERATIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE (GOES) SERIES, WILL BECOME THE
OPERATIONAL GOES-EAST SATELLITE, REPLACING GOES-16.
AS OF THAT DATE, ALL DATA PRODUCTS FROM GOES-19 WILL PERMANENTLY
REPLACE THOSE FROM GOES-16 ON THE SATELLITE BROADCAST NETWORK
(SBN). THIS WILL INCLUDE:
1. SECTORIZED CLOUD AND MOISTURE IMAGERY (SCMI),
2. LEVEL-2 (L2) DERIVED PRODUCTS, AND
3. OTHER PRODUCTS.
1. GOES-19 SCMI WILL, LIKE GOES-16 SCMI, BE DISSEMINATED ON THE
"GRE" CHANNEL OF SBN USING THE FOLLOWING WMO HEADERS FOR GOES-
EAST:
TIRS{01..16} KNES FOR FULL DISK IMAGERY;
TIRE{01..16} KNES FOR EAST CONUS IMAGERY;
TIRP{01..10,13,15} KNES FOR PUERTO RICO REGIONAL SECTOR
IMAGERY;
TIS[A-Z]{01..16} KNES FOR MESO SECTOR IMAGERY.
NOTE: ALTHOUGH GOES-19 SCMI WILL USE THE SAME WMO HEADERS AS
GOES-16 SCMI, USERS CAN STILL DETERMINE THE SATELLITE SOURCE VIA
THE "SATELLITE_ID" GLOBAL ATTRIBUTE WITHIN EACH FILE.
2. GOES-19 L2 DERIVED PRODUCTS ON THE SBN, LIKE THOSE FROM GOES-
16, WILL USE THE GOES-EAST WMO HEADERS AND SBN CHANNELS
INDICATED BELOW:
