NOAA/SWPC Agency Talk SHINE 2009 D.A. Biesecker
Outline • GOES Status • Transition Process • ACE Follow-on and Coronagraph
GOES Space Weather Instrument Status Key Operational Operational with limitations Non-operational Not Applicable G Y R N/A * GOES-14 will be reported once operational • GOES-10: De-orbit scheduled for December, 2009 (only working XRS) • GOES-14: launched June 27, 2009 • Test period from July – December, then will be placed in storage • XRS – GOES-14 XRS pointed at Sun Monday Aug 3 and will be made operational in December • EPS –GOES-12 is YELLOW due to noisy electron data and some failed proton channels • SXI – GOES-13 YELLOW due to 8 rows of CCD pixels being damaged – obscures part of solar disk DE-ORBIT DEC 2009
Constellation Update - GOES Satellite is operational beyond design life On-orbit GOES storage Calendar Year As of June 29, 2009 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 GOES 10 Backup GOES 11 GOES - West GOES 12 GOES - East GOES 13 On-orbit Spare GOES O / GOES-14 On-orbit Spare GOES P GOES R GOES S TODAY Operational
Numerical Model Transition Plans • Heliosphere Model: Predict conditions at L1 with 1-4 day lead time • WSA/ENLIL w/CME being transitioned by SWPC w/assistance from D. Odstrcil • Plan to make operational in 2012 Geospace Model: Given L1 data or prediction, predict ground level magnetic variation SWPC has asked CCMC to carry out validation and verification studies on existing models Announced to community in June Started working with modelers at GEM meeting to coordinate agreeable competition standards Yu and Ridley (2008)
Replacing ACE and SOHO/LASCO • NOAA working with NASA and USAF to hopefully fly DSCOVR (formerly TRIANA) • Proposed launch 2013 • Existing Instruments • Magnetometer • Faraday Cup (Plasma) • Proposed addition • Coronagraph
