Software patch DO.06.03.00 has structural changes to EXIS, SEISS, and MAG products on the GOES Rebroadcast (GRB). The Work Requests and Algorithm Discrepancy Report numbers are listed below. This patch has been coordinated through the GRB User Group and with the Community Satellite Processing Package for Geostationary Data (CSPP) Geo program. The Product Definition Users Guide Volume 4 was updated and Version 1.2 reflects the changes made in the patch. Test files in NetCDF format are available through the GRB User Group Chairman by Email: james.mcnitt@noaa.gov
The CSPP Geo program is planning to release a patch for the CSPP Geo GRB software Wednesday, June 13, 2018. CSPP Geo users who process EXIS, SEISS and MAG products will have to synchronize applying the CSPP Geo software change with the OSPO's cutover to the DO.06.03.00 software, since the CSPP Geo change will not be backward compatible with the current EXIS, SEISS and MAG products. CSPP Geo users who do not process EXIS, SEISS and MAG products will not need to apply the CSPP Geo patch at all, as generation of products from other instruments will not be affected.
