What is GOES VARiable (GVAR) Overview
• GVAR primarily used to transmit Imager/Sounder data
from GOES Satellites
• Also includes: telemetry, calibration data, text msgs,
spacecraft navigation data, and auxiliary products.
• GOES I-P (8-15):
–

–
1685.7 MHz
2.11 Mbps
BPSK Modulation
L-Band

Changes for GOES-14 GVAR
Overview
• GOES-14 & GOES-P Imagers have an 8th IR detector
– Starting with GOES-14, all IR channels at 4km resolution at nadir
• Imager factory coefficients were replicated to Block 11 beginning
with GOES-12 (GVAR Version 2)
• GVAR format was modified to accommodate the additional
detector data – added to Block 0 while removing imager factory
coefficients (GVAR Version 3)
• However, plan is to replicate Instrument Nadir and Detector
Offsets to currently unused space at the end of Block 0 in
addition to the Block 11 position
• White Paper “Copying the Instrument Nadir and Detector Offsets
from Block 11 to Block 0 for GOES O and Beyond” published at
conference http://www.osd.noaa.gov/gvar/gvardownload.htm

Changes to GVAR
Summary
• GOES- 8 through 11:
– Instrument Factory Coefficients in Block 0 (GVAR Version 1)
• GOES- 12 and 13:
•
– Instrument Factory Coefficients both in Block 0 and Block 11
(GVAR Version 2)
GOES-14 and 15 (GVAR Version 3):
– The data for the 8th detector have been added to block 0
– Instrument Factory Coefficients are located in Block 11
– Instrument Nadir and Detector Offsets located in Block 11 but will
also be located in Block 0
• Detector Offsets to be located in block 0, words 7933 to 8028
• Instrument Nadir to be located in block 0, words 8033 to 8038
• Requirement: have guaranteed delivery of Detector Offsets +
Instrument Nadir in the start of a frame to ensure proper INR
operations in the RPM system.

What is GOES Data Collection
Service (DCS) - Overview
• GOES data service for collection of environmental
data in real-time from > 30,000 remote data collection
platforms located across the GOES Footprint
• GOES 11-14
– Uplink at 401.7-402.1 MHz at 100/300/1200 BPS
– Downlink at 1694.5 MHz
• Frequency Share/Time Share System
– Approximately 200 Channels
– Normal transmissions hourly for 5 to 10 seconds
• Data available from NOAA or through direct broadcast
– GOES Direct Broadcast (large antenna, by channel)
– DOMSAT (commercial satellite, small antenna, one stream)
– Internet connection
– LRIT

What is GOES Data Collection Service
(DCS) - Overview
• Critical infrastructure for real-time data collection
• Many Emergency warning systems in the U.S. and
other countries rely on GOES DCS
• Examples of GOES DCS User Community:
–
–
–
–
National Weather Service/National Ocean Service
USGS
U.S. Forest Service
International Hydrometeorological Offices
• Examples of Applications of DCS Data
–
–
–
–

Tsunamis and other sea level information
Floods, earthquakes, volcanoes
Fire (fuel temperatures, wind directions and speed)
Meteorological observations

GOES DCS Current System
Improvements
• New ground system (DADDS) in operation
• New transmitters to cut channels in half, double
capacity coming soon
• Finishing conversion to faster transmitters,
eliminating slower (100 bps) transmitters
• Future implementation of available 2-way
communication capability
• Allowing more frequent observations (1 hour instead
of 3 or 4 hour repeat cycle)

What is Search And Rescue Satellite Aided
Tracking (SARSAT) System - Overview
As an integral part of worldwide search and rescue, NOAA
operates the Search And Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking
(SARSAT) System to detect and locate mariners, aviators, and
recreational enthusiasts in
distress anywhere in the
world at anytime and in
almost any condition. GOES
satellites provide the realtime coverage area between
70° N and 70° S latitudes.
This information is then provided to search and rescue authorities.

What is Emergency Managers Weather
Information Network (EMWIN) - Overview
• EMWIN is a reliable, low cost, weather warning and
data broadcast system providing free and rapid
dissemination of warnings, forecasts, graphics and
imagery in the Americas, the Caribbean and Pacific
Rim that has been in operation for over 14 years
• The Goal - to inform emergency managers and the
public as quickly as possible of pending weather
threats, increasing the likelihood of sparing lives and
property
• EMWIN is a National Weather Service Network
disseminated via GOES and the Internet
