DOY 289

GOES
NOTES: GOES-14 is drifting 0.90 degrees per day to the East towards the location of GOES-13 at 75 degrees West. Final location of GOES-14 is dependent upon the ongoing recovery of GOES-13. During this transition, direct readout users can continue to receive GOES-14 data via the GOES-13 GVAR broadcast stream from 75 degrees West, and will not have to re-point their antennas to GOES-14.

Another 24 hour evaluation of GOES-13 Imager and Sounder data and level 2 products will begin today at 15:45z. During this test GOES-13 data will be broadcasted via GOES-14 while we continue to broadcast the operational GOES-14 data via GOES-13.

All other GOES operations were nominal over the past 72 hours.
No anomalies affecting product delivery via GVAR or s/c health & safety.
