EMWIN in GOESN Era Status Report在GOESN时代状况报告EMWIN.pptVIP

Emergency Managers Weather Information Networkin the GOES-N Era: a Status Report Satellite Direct Readout Conference for the Americas Miami, Florida December 10, 2002 Lloyd E. Irvin (NOAA/NWS) EMWIN A system to provide timely watches, warnings, and forecasts to the nation’s emergency managers using NOAA’s GOES satellites and low cost user receive systems EMWIN is broadcast from GOES East and GOES West EMWIN will be impacted as current GOES satellites are replaced by newer satellites EMWIN in GOES-N EraChanges Reduced broadcast power Complies with ITU power levels Mitigated by use of Forward Error Correction and higher-order modulation Broadcast frequency change From: 1690.725MHz To: 1693.500MHz Impacts on Users Receiving site changes required Upgrade for FEC and modulation Accommodation for frequency change Receiving site antennas Above 5o – no change Below 5o – may require a larger antenna GOES East (75oW), Goes West (135oW)Visibility Contours Transition to GOES-NGuiding Principles Minimize impacts on users Maintain at least the same level of service Ensure EMWIN vendors are ready Inform users of changes and schedule Ensure graceful transition Provide adequate time for users and NOAA to make changes Avoid abrupt changes Transition to GOES-NApproach Formed joint NESDIS/NWS coordination group Actively planning the transition activities NESDIS coordinating with receiver manufacturers Sponsoring FEC and modulator prototype development Fostering low cost receive systems through testing opportunities NESDIS providing pro-active user community coordination NWS providing timely user information Transition to GOES-NCoordination Group Activities Recommended to NESDIS management the operation of a parallel broadcast of GOES-N EMWIN from a normally stored third satellite before GOES-N becomes operational Developing a Transition Plan based on third satellite approach to provide date-certain start of a parallel broadcast Transition to GOES-NReceive System
