Date/Time
Issued: October 9, 2018 1520 UTC
Product(s) or Data Impacted: EUMETSAT's Prime
Satellite (0 degree) Meteosat-11 MSG HRIT Data
Date/Time of Initial Impact: November 16, 2018
Date/Time of Expected End:Indefinitely
Details/Specifics of Change: In coordination
with EUMETSAT, NOAA/NESDIS plans to terminate its U.S.
DOMSAT direct broadcast of MSG 0 degree Prime satellite
data (currently Meteosat-11) on November 16, 2018. This
service termination isdue in large part to obsolete
equipment, limited distribution capacity and other
factors such as the availability of robust data delivery
systems.
In parallel
with the U.S. DOMSAT service, NOAA/NESDIS has
Meteosat-11 HRIT data available for its authorized users
from its Product Distribution and Access (PDA) system
(24x7 support) and from STAR FTP services (best effort
support). In
preparation for the loss of the U.S. DOMSAT MSG
broadcast service, 24x7 operational users can access the
MSG data from the NESDIS PDA or for non-operational
users, from NESDIS STAR. Please contact "nesdis.data.access@noaa.gov" for additional
information to acquire MSG
0 degree Prime satellite data (currently Meteosat-11)
from the NESDIS PDA or from the NESDIS STAR server.
