The GOES-R Series user community will be notified of satellite maneuvers and scanning changes the same as legacy systems; through the ESPC Operations listserv which is ESPC.Notification@noaa.gov<\/a>.\u00a0Users are encouraged to complete the registration process below to receive the latest available information from NESDIS.<\/p>\n

In order to provide critical details regarding the forthcoming switch from GOES VARiable (GVAR) to GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) and from GOES Low Rate Information Transmission (LRIT) provided from the GOES-N series satellites to the new High Rate Information Transmission (HRIT)<\/strong>, each user is encouraged to complete the short (5-minute-long) registration process so that the user can receive the latest available information from NESDIS.

Your support will be greatly appreciated and will help to keep users up to date.<\/p>\n

You can contact Jim McNitt (Direct Readout Program Manager) at james.mcnitt@noaa.gov<\/a> for additional information about the transition from GVAR to GRB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We would also like to know whether you are an LRIT user planning to transition to HRIT\/EMWIN<\/strong> when GOES-16 becomes the operational GOES-East satellite this fall (or when GOES-S becomes GOES-West in the future) or whether you will have or will install a HRIT\/EMWIN system in the near future. Any other feedback on these two systems is welcome. Please feel free to contact the LRIT and HRIT\/EMWIN Program Manager\u00a0seth.clevenstine@noaa.gov<\/a> for further information regarding the transition and what impacts it could have to your receipt of data.<\/p>\n
