Date/Time
Issued: October 30,
2018 1613 UTC
Product(s) or Data Impacted: Cancellation of
EUMETSAT's Prime Satellite (0 degree) Meteosat-11
MSG HRIT Data from NOAA's U.S. DOMSAT Broadcast
Date/Time of Initial Impact: November 16,
2018
Date/Time of Expected End:Indefinitely
Details/Specifics of Change: In coordination
with EUMETSAT, NOAA/NESDIS plans to terminate its
U.S. DOMSAT direct broadcast of MSG 0 degree Prime
satellite data (MSG-4; Meteosat-11) on November 16,
2018. This data service termination isdue in large
part to obsolete equipment, limited distribution
capacity and other factors such as the availability
of robust data delivery systems.
In
parallel with the U.S. DOMSAT service, NOAA/NESDIS
has Meteosat-11 HRIT data available for its
authorized users from its Product Distribution and
Access (PDA) system (24x7 support) and from STAR FTP
services (best effort support). In preparation
for the cancellation of the U.S. DOMSAT MSG
broadcast service, 24x7 operational users can
request access to the MSG 0 degree Prime Meteosat-11
data from the NESDIS PDA or for non-operational
users, from NESDIS STAR. Please contact "nesdis.data.access@noaa.gov" for
additional information to acquire Meteosat-11 data from
either of these alternate NESDIS data distribution
sources.
