Update #1: The update to DO.12 software baseline will occur at 1621 UTC for GOES-16, and 1651 UTC for GOES-18
Topic: GOES-16 and GOES-18 software build update scheduled for May 23, 2023
Date/Time Issued: May 23, 2023 1515 UTC
Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-16 and GOES-18 ABI, EXIS, GLM, MAG, SEISS and SUVI Level 1b products
Date/Time of Initial Impact: May 23, 2023
GOES-16: 1621 UTC
GOES-18: 1651 UTC
Date/Time of Expected End: N/A
Length of Outage: N/A
Details/Specifics of Change: A GOES-16/GOES-18 software update (DO.12.01.02) is planned to go live on May 23, 2023 between the hours of 1400 and 1800 UTC. No data outage will occur when the updates go live. This update will result in changes to many of the L1b products, however no format changes to GOES ReBroadcast (GRB) will occur. The tables below outline the updates users can expect for the ABI, GLM and Space Weather (i.e. EXIS, MAG, SEISS, & SUVI) products as part of this software change.
This update will be made regardless of the issuance of a Critical Weather Day.
ABI Changes
WR 7945 | Incorrect planck_fk1 metadata in L1b, CMIP and PUG | Fixes planck_fk1 units and long name in metadata |
WR 8840 | GSICS Correction in ABI L1b | Adds Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS) correction metadata to ABI L1b |
WR 9203 | Enable SCMI netCDF Shuffle to reduce file sizes | Reduces file sizes of SCMI and other imagery products by adding Shuffle to netCDF array variables |
GLM Changes
WR 7449 | GLM Geographic Coverage Extents are incorrect | The lat_field_of_view_bounds and lon_field_of_view_bounds had small errors and are now fixed |
Space Weather Changes
WR 6845 | GPA update for SEISS MPS-HI and MPS-LO L1b IFC leakage | Resolves MPS-Lo IFC pulses leaking into L1b fluxes. Fix failure from DO.09.01. |
WR 8263 | XRS SPP_roll_angle variable | Fixes SPP_to_Sun_roll_angle long name and comment attributes |
WR 8323 | EUVS line irradiances and ratios during bad pointing and low SPS signal | Updates the way irradiance fill values and quality flags are set during certain situations |
WR 8404 | MPS-HI and SGPS L1b data gaps near IFCs part 2 | Resolves remaining SGPS data gaps near IFCs. |
WR 8787 | SUVI J2000 time incorrect in netCDF files | Fixes error in metadata definitions of epoch time, which are relative to 2000-01-01 12:00:00 UTC (not J2000) |
WR 8932 | SUVI SAT_THR not calculated correctly | Returns SAT_THR to be the maximum theoretical recordable radiance |
WR 8970 | Mag L1b solar array current index label incorrect | Fixes telemetry mnemonics that correspond to the solar array current |
WR 9326 | EXIS/MAG/SEISS ECEF_Z range | Extends the ECEF_Z valid range values to +/-1.72e7 |
WR 7558 | SUVI DATE_OBS, DATE_END need exp time subtracted | Resolves errors in DATE_OBS and DATE_END metadata fields |
WR 8745 | SEISS EHIS He conversion from SGPS | Fixes EHIS Alpha Particle data by importing it from SGPS |
WR 6780 | SWx - G17 Solar array currents incorrect | Fixes reported Solar Array currents for G-17, 18, and 19 |
WR 9321 | SUVI coordinates in metadata | Improves metadata resilience to O&A datagaps |
