Details/Specifics of Change:

Please hold up on changes to your system to the new format. We are
investigating a concern that may result in the delay of the update. We will
get back to you as soon as possible (within 15 to 20 minutes) on whether or
not a delay will occur. Thank you for your patience.

*********** Original Message follows *************
On April 12, 2005 starting at 1230 UTC, NOAA NESDIS will implement the new
level 1B formats for NOAA-15, 16, and 17. This change will impact all
instruments. Listed below are the last passes that should be processed with
the old format and the first passes to be processed with the new format. We
do not expect an extended delay of data but it is possible that NOAA-16
passes may be held up while we implement the changes. We will resume
processing as soon as possible with the new format.

Last passes with old format (received before 1230 UTC):
NSS.HRPT.NK.D05102.S1143.E1158.B3594040.WI
NSS.GHRR.NK.D05102.S0958.E1143.B3593940.WI

NSS.GHRR.NM.D05102.S0709.E0856.B1454748.GC
NSS.LHRR.NM.D05102.S0751.E0756.B1454747.GC

* Due to scheduling, this pass will not be received until after the switch
to the new format. However, in order to be consistent with the rest of the
data recorded from that orbit, it will be processed in the old format.

First passes with new format (received after 1230 UTC):
NSS.HRPT.NK.D05102.S1820.E1833.B3594444.GC
NSS.GHRR.NK.D05102.S1137.E1332.B3594041.WI

NSS.GHRR.NL.D05102.S1137.E1324.B2347980.GC
NSS.LHRR.NL.D05102.S1249.E1301.B2347980.GC

NSS.HRPT.NM.D05102.S1424.E1435.B1455151.WI
NSS.GHRR.NM.D05102.S0851.E1046.B1454849.WI
NSS.LHRR.NM.D05102.S1052.E1104.B1454949.WI

NOTE: As normal, passes may not be processed in sequential order due to
scheduling issues or blind orbits.
