Update #1: The update to DO.12 software baseline will occur at 1621 UTC for GOES-16, and 1651 UTC for GOES-18

Topic: GOES-16 and GOES-18 software build update scheduled for May 23, 2023

Date/Time Issued: May 23, 2023 1515 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: GOES-16 and GOES-18 ABI, EXIS, GLM, MAG, SEISS and SUVI Level 1b products

Date/Time of Initial Impact: May 23, 2023

GOES-16: 1621 UTC

GOES-18: 1651 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: N/A

Length of Outage: N/A 


Details/Specifics of Change:  A GOES-16/GOES-18 software update (DO.12.01.02) is planned to go live on May 23, 2023 between the hours of 1400 and 1800 UTC. No data outage will occur when the updates go live. This update will result in changes to many of the L1b products, however no format changes to GOES ReBroadcast (GRB) will occur. The tables below outline the updates users can expect for the ABI, GLM and Space Weather (i.e. EXIS, MAG, SEISS, & SUVI) products as part of this software change.


This update will be made regardless of the issuance of a Critical Weather Day.


ABI Changes


WR 7945

Incorrect planck_fk1 metadata in L1b, CMIP and PUG

Fixes planck_fk1 units and long name in metadata

WR 8840

GSICS Correction in ABI L1b
