* [http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/SPBULL/MSG2691944.01.txt GOES-16 Drift and Transition Plan] posted. GOES-16 will drift eastward to 75.2 degrees West starting Nov 30 and ending Dec 11 2017. There will be three days of calibration activity and then GOES-16 will resume nominal operations and officially become GOES-East. There will be a three week period of overlap with GOES-13. GOES-13 will remain at 75 degrees West until Jan 2 2018 when it begins drifting to its storage location. | * [http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/SPBULL/MSG2691944.01.txt GOES-16 Drift and Transition Plan] posted.

* Satellite winds from GOES-16 appeared in the NCEP satwnd files starting 12z 20171221. The termination of GOES-13 products was delayed due to CWD, The final satellite winds from GOES-13 were in the 20180108 12z satwnd file. | * Satellite winds from GOES-16 appeared in the NCEP satwnd files starting 12z 20171221.

* The GOES-16 satellite winds are written in a newer BUFR format. The FP system was modified to handle the new wind format, and for MERRA2 and RPIT (DAS 5.12 systems) the GOES-16 winds are being rewritten in the older GOES-13 format so they can be assimilated without modifying and recompiling the DAS. The earlier systems had already been using a modified satwnd file with time windowing of the winds to reduce data volume. | |||
== Meteosat-11 to replace Meteosat-10 as primary FES spacecraft February 2018 == | |||
* The timeline for transition between Meteosat-10 and Meteosat-11 as primary Full Earth Scan (FES) spacecraft is given on [https://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/TechnicalBulletins/Meteosat/index.html this webpage]. Modifications to the GEOS DAS will probably be minor. | |||
** 6 February 2018 - Start of Meteosat-10 and Meteosat-11 parallel image data and Meteorological product dissemination (with Met-10 as primary FES) | |||
** 20 February 2018 - Meteosat-11 becomes prime FES spacecraft. Parallel Meteosat-10/11 data dissemination continues. | |||
** 6 March 2018 — Meteosat-10 FES image data and product dissemination stops. | |||
