One more thing. If you are ingesting NOAAport using the LDM, for the proper relaying of the NIMAGE products, you really, REALLY should use the LDM 6.13.x series to do so; the current supported version is 6.13.6. Notice that UNIDATA's IDD cluster and ingest servers, along with SSEC, U-W Madison, TAMU and others are on the LDM 6.13.x series; there is a great reason for that, as the 6.13 series fixes a product ID issue on the NIMAGE feed. Not to mention that it also fixes several other bugs, some of them serious, which can cause the LDM to crash. I'd love to hear feedback on the lists how things are going for you when you ingest the data.

GOES-16 data is going to be transmitted today over NOAAport/SBN! Sent in netCDF4 format, it’s the day we’ve been waiting for since the bird was launched successfully into orbit. For those of you who are eager to view this experimental imagery (and if you put it on your websites, NOAA requests that you clearly label the imagery as experimental!), I’d like to make some comments and, for those who have receivers, a few “gotchas” to avoid. 1. First: I have no idea whether or not UNIDATA is ready to receive these products, and disseminate them over the IDD today. Hopefully, someone there will comment on this aspect of it. 2. For those who have Novra NOAAport receivers: make sure you are running V2R15 firmware. If you do not have this installed, be ready for plenty of packet losses and false VBER reports. If you do not have a Novra, but something else…make sure you have the latest supported, non-beta firmware on it. Make sure you are able to receive pid 108. That’s what the products will be sent on. 3. For those who have any NOAAport receivers: If your Carrier to Noise (C/N), aka Signal to Noise (S/N) is less than 17, you MIGHT see considerable amounts of lost packets. Always point your dish to receive the highest C/N or S/N, NOT signal strength! 4. If you are seeing reception problems, first check your coax connectors. They are the most common points of failure of getting acceptable reception. On cable runs longer than 50’, use RG-11 cable. The announcement for this was sent out yesterday in a SCN. Here it is, for those who missed it. Go get ‘em, folks! Gilbert 273 NOUS41 KWBC 011845 PNSWSH Service Change Notice 17-24 National Weather Service Headquarters Silver Spring, MD 245 PM EST Wed Mar 1 2017 To: Subscribers: -NOAA Weather Wire Service -Emergency Managers Weather Information Network -NOAAPORT Other NWS Partners and NWS Employees From: Joseph Pica Director, NWS Office of Observations Subject: Add Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) Imagery to the Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN or NOAAPORT), effective March 2, 2017 Effective on or after Thursday, March 2, 2017, at approximately 18UTC, GOES-16 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Sectorized Cloud and Moisture Imagery (SCMI) will be added to the SBN (also known as NOAAPORT). The SBN feed of GOES-16 ABI imagery will be in a pre-operational validation and testing phase through approximately November 2017. NOAA\'s GOES-16 satellite has not been declared operational and its data are preliminary and undergoing testing. Users receiving these data through any dissemination means assume all risk related to their use of GOES-16 data and NOAA disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, including (without limitation) any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This preliminary imagery is being added to enable the testing of networks and systems with actual GOES-16 imagery and so that users will be able to evaluate the imagery during this validation/test period. It is not recommended that this preliminary imagery be used in operational forecast processes, especially during the initial months of this validation/test period. Any downstream postings of these data should clearly convey their preliminary, non-operational and in-testing nature. Furthermore, this data stream may be subject to temporary unannounced data outages during this validation and testing period. One or more follow-on notices will provide information on the progress and conclusion of the validation period. Refer to prior Technical Implementation Notice 15-24, which introduced simulated GOES-R data to the SBN. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/os/notification/tin15-24goes- r_imagery.htm Eventually, the SBN will carry a range of GOES-16 products. This notice concerns only the addition of GOES-16 ABI imagery. A future notice will be issued for other GOES-16 products that will be added to the SBN at a later date. GOES-16 is stationed over its designated 89.5 degrees west longitude station. From this location, it is undergoing checkout and validation and is not yet designated GOES East or West. Nevertheless, the SBN\'s GOES-R East channel (PID 108) will be used to disseminate the GOES-16 imagery, at least until the time when the spacecraft is repositioned to its final operational station. For the foreseeable future, the operational GOES-East (GOES-13) and GOES-West (GOES-15) data will remain unchanged on SBN PIDs 102 (for CONUS imagery) and 104 (for OCONUS imagery). The WMO headers for the GOES-16 imagery are as follows, with references to the 11 character template: Template: T1 T2 A1 A2 ii CCCC T1 = T T2 = I A1 = R for large-scale (non-mesoscale) sectors = S for mesoscale sectors A2 Where A1=R, for large-scale (non-mesoscale) sectors, A2 corresponds to geographical sectors as follows: = A for the Alaska Regional sector = E for the East CONUS sector = H for the Hawaii Regional sector = P for the Puerto Rico Regional sector = S for the East Full Disk = T for the West Full Disk = W for the West CONUS sector Where A1=S, for mesoscale sectors, A2 values corresponds to geographical latitude/longitude areas as follows: = A for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and 120 deg. W < Long. <= 135 deg W = B for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and 105 deg. W < Long. <= 120 deg. W = C for 45 deg. N <= Lat. < 60 deg. N and 90 deg.

W Where mesoscale boxes T, U and Z extend across the prime meridian (0 deg. longitude) and boxes V and Y extend across the International Dateline (180 deg. longitude). Sector boundaries of 0 deg. N or 0 deg. S refer to the equator. The "<=" symbols refer to "less than or equal to." Note that some of the regions above are out of range from GOES-16 at its current location, but these regions could be within range after the satellites station changes. ii = ABI channel number (01 - 16); between the ii and CCCC is a space CCCC = KNES (signifies that NESDIS is the creating data center) During this test and evaluation period, some sectors will be unavailable, and the set of available sectors will change. Until recently, these headers had been used to disseminate simulated imagery on the GOES-R East channel for GOES-R testing. Tests of simulated GOES-R Series imagery will occur, at times, on the GOESR West channel of the SBN. The file format for these products is netCDF4. Additional information about this new data stream (including headers, file-format descriptions, sector definitions, sample files and further information) has been posted at the following web site and will be periodically updated: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/noaaport/html/GOES_R.shtml Critical weather or other factors could delay the activation of these products on the SBN.
