Date/Time Issued: May 31, 2022 2130 UTC
Product or Data Impacted: Meteosat-8 Data and Products
Date/Time of Initial Impact: April 25, 2022
Date/Time of Expected End: June 30, 2022
Length of Event: 67 days
Details/Specifics of Change: EUMETSAT plans to replace Meteosat-8 with Meteosat-9 as the primary geostationary satellite to support the IODC service. Meteosat-9 will become the official IODC satellite starting June 1, 2022 at the new location of 45.5E. Following is the schedule from EUMETSAT to facilitate users' transition from Meteosat-8 to Meteosat-9 IODC operations (parallel data flow will be provided):
From April 25, 2022, to May 31, 2022 -- Starting 0900 UTC, April 25, 2022, Meteosat-9 will provide parallel IODC service while Meteosat-8 continues to provide the primary IODC service.
During this period, Meteosat-8 image filenames from NOAA/NESDIS PDA will not be modified. Ex:
H-000-MSG1__-MSG1_IODC___-HRV______-000001___-201706121600-C
H-000-MSG1__-MSG1_IODC___-IR_016___-000001___-201706121600-C_
Corresponding PDA product short names. Ex:
MSG_IODC_HRV
MSG_IODC_IR_016
During this period, Meteosat-9 image filenames from NOAA/NESDIS PDA will contain “PAR” (for “parallel”). Ex:
H-000-MSG2__-MSG2_IODCPAR-HRV______-000001___-202202031045-C_
H-000-MSG2__-MSG2_IODCPAR-IR_016___-000001___-202202031045-C_
Corresponding PDA product short names. Ex:
MSG2_IODC_HRV_PAR
MSG2_IODC_IR_016_PAR
From June 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022 -- Starting 0900 UTC, June 1, 2022, Meteosat-8 will provide parallel IODC service while Meteosat-9 provides the primary IODC service.
During this period, as an IODC data back-up, Meteosat-8 image filenames from NOAA/NESDIS PDA will be modified to contain “PAR” (for “parallel”). Ex:
H-000-MSG1__-MSG1_IODCPAR-HRV______-000001___-202202031045-C
H-000-MSG1__-MSG1_IODCPAR-IR_016___-000001___-202202031045-C_
Corresponding PDA product short names. Ex:
MSG1_IODC_HRV_PAR
MSG1_IODC_IR_016_PAR
During this period and onward, Meteosat-9 image filenames from NOAA/NESDIS PDA will not contain “PAR”. Ex:
H-000-MSG2__-MSG2_IODC___-HRV______-000001___-202202031045-C_
H-000-MSG2__-MSG2_IODC___-IR_016___-000001___-202202031045-C_
Corresponding PDA product short names. Ex:
MSG2_IODC_HRV
MSG2_IODC_IR_016
From July 1, 2022 -- Starting 0900 UTC, July 1, 2022, Meteosat-8 will stop providing the parallel IODC service.
NOAA/NESDIS plans to distribute only Met-9 imagery from the GEODIST system starting 1400 UTC, June 1, 2022. In a phased approach, NESDIS generated L2 products using Met-9 data (in lieu of Met-8 data) will be available within the next two weeks starting 1400 UTC, June 1, 2022. PDA distribution of Met-8 and Met-9 HRIT L1b data will follow EUMETSAT's schedule above. Importantly, to ensure accurate Meteosat data receipt during the overall transition period, PDA users should currently have NESDIS PDA subscriptions to both Met-8 and Met-9 data, with and without "PAR" and “IODC” in the filenames. For the current Met-9 PDA subscriptions, the new product names will automatically carry over when updated by the PDA. The switch to operational Met-9 data distribution at NOAA/NESDIS should not impact McIDAS users unless your data processing precisely keys on "Meteosat-8" or SSID 51.
