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 August 25, 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
