Subject: NOAA-14,16,17, All Instruments, Testing 1B data, Date implemented: 18 --------------B8320773EF5680A5A7E005AF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Topic: Testing 1B data generated from the new Advanced Front End Preprocessor Date/Time(UTC) Message Issued: 15 October 2004, 1450 UTC Satellite(s) Involved: NOAA-14, NOAA-16, and NOAA-17 Instrument(s) Involved: All instruments Product(s) Involved/Affected: No impact to operational data Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation: TBA Details/Specifics of Change: 1B test data will be made available on 18 October 2004 via website. This data is to be used to evaluate the data generated from the Advanced Front End Preprocessor (AFEP). The current preprocessor will be replaced by the AFEP as the operational preprocessor. This is scheduled to occur on/or shortly after 17 November 2004. We would appreciate any feedback concerning the test data. The test data will be made available during the period between 18 October and November 17 2004. I will send out an announcement of the first orbit for the test data, and the website location on 18 October 2004. Please let this serve as notification of this testing and be advised that a new preprocessor is scheduled to go into operations on/or shortly after 17 November 2004. Your evaluation of this data is essential in that the AFEP will become the operational preprocessor. We have evaluated the AFEP inhouse for an extended period and do not anticipate any problems, nevertheless your feedback is important to us. The data will be generated in parallel with operational data. Contact Person(s) Name/Email/Phone Number for Questions: Cecil A.
