Satellite(s) Involved:
ALL
Instrument(s) Involved:
ALL
Product(s) Involved/Affected:
TBUS bulletins over TOC Gateway/Data Receipt
Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
16 December 2003, Time 0500 UTC
Details/Specifics of Change:
Due to hardware changes, NOAA must change the distribution method for its
POES and GOES TBUS bulletins distributed over the Telecommunication
Operations Center Gateway. We must switch to the new system no later
than December 16. In an effort to ensure that user services are not
disrupted, NOAA plans to send out test messages in parallel to operational
messasges beginning tomorrow, December 10. Current operational messages
will be discontinued on December 16, 2003. Also, at that time the bulletin
will be sent out once per day around 0500 local or 1000 UTC rather than
twice a day (1000 UTC and 1850 UTC). If you know of a reason why the second
distribution should continue, please let us know immediately.
Current bulletins are distributed with a header "TBUSxx KWBC" where "xx"
is 01, 02, ... or 06 identifying the satellite. The new header is "TBUSxx
KNES". Once you've modified your system to accept the new header, you will
find that the messages are identical to the current operations. Please
contact us immediately if you discover any problems with the new bulletin.
Please pass this message on to other directreadout data users who may not
have received it.
