Level 1B data delays due to Fairbanks software change
Date/Time(UTC) Message Issued:
13 September 2004, 1430 UTC
Satellite(s) Involved:
ALL
Instrument(s) Involved:
ALL
Product(s) Involved/Affected:
ALL
Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
14 September 2004, Time 0900 - 1300 UTC
15 September 2004, Time 1000 - 1400 UTC
Details/Specifics of Change:
As part of NOAA's upgrade to support future satellite operations under the
Initial Joint Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System (IJPS), software
upgrades will be performed at the Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition
Station as outlined below.
On Tuesday, 14 September, to accommodate IJPS software installation and
testing, Fairbanks and SOCC will be disconnected from approximately 0900 to
1300 UTC. This will result in approximately a 4 hour delay in getting data
from Fairbanks to CEMSCS for level 1B processing. After successfully
bringing the system back up, all Fairbanks data will be sent to CEMSCS.
On Wednesday, 15 September, if the previous day's testing was nominal,
Fairbanks and SOCC will be disconnected from 1000 - 1400 UTC. CEMSCS will
again experience delays getting data for approximately 4 hours until the
system is back up and operational. All Fairbanks data will be sent to
CEMSCS after this time period.
