Subject:
SGP/GOES8 - Gap in GOES8 file availability
DataStreams:sgpgoes8visX1.a1, sgpgoes8minnisX1.c1, sgpgoes8minnis-acfX1.c1, sgpgoes8visX1.00,
sgpg8profX1.00, sgpgoes8X1.a1, sgpgoes8X1.00
Description:
GOES-8 was commanded into safe hold mode at approximately 4 AM EST on
Tuesday, October 27, in response to a large attitude disturbance.
GOES-10 was placed into a full disk imaging mode beginning at
approximately 8 AM (EST) October 28th to cover for the GOES-8 outage.

Since the GOES8 data feeds the minnis products and the profiles derived
by the University of Wisconsin (sgpg8profX1) these data are unavailable
for the same time period that the GOES8 data are unavailable. We did
receive GOES10 data for some of the period that we are missing GOES8.
The GOES10 data are available for 981028 from 0100 to 1800(GMT), every half
hour. We will be processing these files as a new data stream but there
will be a delay until the ingest is modified to handle the GOES10.
