The affected pixels are properly flagged. Corrected onon 04/23/2019. Major navigation upgrade,6/1/2017,,Upgrade elements: (i) static FPA shifts are absorbed into the LUTs; (ii) GNC gyro rate capping is adjusted. Upgrade effects: (i) navigation disturbances from the Kalman filter reset are reduced several times; (ii) navigation stability is increased. Periodic IR Calibration Anomaly (PICA),6/1/2017,10/19/2017,PICA was a periodic radiometric calibration anomaly with 15 minutes of periodicity observed at GOES-16 ABI Mode-3 MESO and CONUS images caused by the residual of incident angle-dependent scan mirror emissivity corrections. It was corrected with the update of scan-mirror emissivity LUTs on 10/19/2017. Sub-optimal solar calibration for VNIR Channels,01/15/2017,12/12/2017,Until 12 December 2017 |
ICT Temperature Bias | 6/1/2017 | 6/19/2018 | The ICT PRT coefficients that converted the PRT raw counts into temperatures were inconsistent with the values from the correct vendor source. This discrepancy led to a -0.2 K bias to the calculated ICT temperatures and colder bias of similar magnitude of the L1b products for all the IR channels. On 19 June 2018, the revised LUT was implemented in GS data processing and resulted in improved radiometric calibration accuracy. |

Banding and Striping Images | 07/12/2020 | 07/12/2020 | The Moon appeared in the G17 ICT spacelook positions at ~03:15z and ~03:20z. These intrusions caused the strong bandings at the B09 and B13 images between 03:15-03:20z and at the B10 and B15 images between 03:20z - 03:25z. One strong banding can also be observed at the B04 FD swath and the MESO image at ~03:15z. The strong striping at the B13 images since 03:20z was caused by the latched spacelook and was resolved by the manual reset of the spacelook at ~04:14z. Details on these anomalies are available in the report by Yu et al. in the CWG weekly meeting on 07/15/2020. |

Event | StartDate | EndDate | Description |
---|---|---|---|
BDS update | 08/28/2024 | 08/28/2024 | The new Best Detector Select (BDS) maps for GOES-19 ABI were deployed at 13:10 UTC on 08/28/2024. Further details were presented in the CWG meeting on 08/30/2024. Keyword: RAD. |
BYOG in VNIR Bands | 09/18/2024 | 09/18/2024 | The BYOG DQF method was deployed at approximately 20:37 UTC on 09/18 to mitigate the impact of erroneous high-gain detectors located near the FPA edge in the VNIR bands. However; the gain values for these detectors were still incorrect at the solar cal events on 09/21 and 09/24. The incorrect gains for these detectors were resolved at the solar calibration at 11:49 UTC on 09/27. More details were discussed in the CWG meetings on 09/18 and 09/27. Keyword: RAD |
Q LUT and Scan-mirror LUT updates | 09/18/2024 | 09/18/2024 | The Q Look-Up-Table (LUT) for Bands 1 and 2 along and the scan mirror LUT for the IR bands from CDLR79-FM4-RevB were deployed on the OE (ws3) string at 13:46 UTC on 09/18/2024. More details were covered in the CWG meeting on 09/27/2024. Keyword: RAD |
B02 BDS update | 10/23/2024 | 10/23/2024 | Striping was observed in GOES-19 ABI B02 products due to the anomalous performance from the detector in Row#682. The BDS map for this detector was changed from column 1 to column 3 at 17:40z on 10/23/2024. However striping in the L1b products worsened following this BDS update. For more details refer to the CWG presentation from 11/01/2024. Keyword: RAD. |
Solar Cal Spacelook LUT Update | 09/27/2024 | 09/27/2024 | Weak striping can be observed in the early GOES-19 VNIR bands since the first solar calibration on 08/29/2024. The issue was caused by residual memory of the previous satellite's solar calibration spacelook data in the primary SOE string. The issue was resolved by lifting the lunar rejection thresholds in the solar calibration spacelook LUT for the VNIR bands which was effective on the solar calibration on 09/27/2024. The lifted LUT also corrected incorrect SNR calculations in the Ground System for the detectors affected by the residual memory issue. More details were discussed in the CWG meetings on 09/06/2024 and 10/01/2024. Keyword: RAD. |
Solar Cal Spacelook LUT Reverted | 10/18/2024 | 10/18/2024 | The lifted threshold of the solar calibration spacelook LUT was reverted in the primary SOE string; effective since the solar calibration on 10/18/2024. More details in the CWG meeting on 10/25/2024. Keyword: RAD. |
DRL for B02 | 10/30/2024 | 10/30/2024 | The Dead Row List (DRL) algorithm was deployed for GOES-19 Band02 Detector Row #682(indexing starts from 0) at around 15:24 UTC on 10/30/2024. This method was aimed to mitigate the apparent striping observed in the B02 L1b images. However the random DRL artifact can be occassionally observed in B02 images. Details were discussed in the CWG meetings on 10/25/2024 and 11/01/2024. Keyword: RAD. |
Faint striping in B01 images | 09/27/2024 | Weak but widespread striping may be observed over bright clouds in the GOES-19 Band 01 images. Details were available in the CWG meeting on 10/14/2024. Keyword: RAD. | |
Banding in Ch16 images | 08/28/204 | Apparent banding may be visually observed along the stitch area in the GOES-19 Channel 16 L1b images. The radiance discontinuity is scene dependent and can be up to approximately 0.4 K@300K. Details were discussed in the CWG meeting on 09/27/2024. Keyward: RAD. | |
