Topic: Implementation of GOES-16 and GOES-17 Fire Hot Spot Mesoscale Scene Product

Date/Time Issued: April 15, 2021 1545 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: Fire MESO product

Date/Time of Initial Impact:  April 19, 2021 1400 UTC


Details/Specifics of Change: 


The addition of mesoscale scene processing for the Fire Hot Spot algorithm will be implemented on April 19, 2021 at 1400 UTC. This update will add Meso scenes to the currently produced Full Disk and CONUS products for both GOES-16 and GOES-17.  The resolution will still be at 2km, and the cadence will be every 1 minute. This is an update to the Fire algorithm, Product Generation (PG), and Product Distribution (PD).

Meso 1: OR_ABI-L2-FDCM1-M6_G##_s*_e*_c*.nc

Meso 2: OR_ABI-L2-FDCM2-M6_G##_s*_e*_c*.nc

Where ## is the Satellite Number and * represents file start, end, and creation times


Caidence: 1 minute

Resolution: 2 km
