  2. Low Rate Information Transmission Users can obtain this information with relatively low cost ground systems. LRIT is a collection of low resolution NOAA data and products, packaged into a single stream, and rebroadcast over NOAA geostationary satellites.

  3. Low Rate Information Transmission • L-Band LRIT Specifications • GOES-11/12/13/14/15 • Frequency: 1691.0 MHz • Data Rate: 128 kbps • Modulation: BPSK • Polarization: Linear • LRIT on GOES-11 off during eclipse • Eclipse outages in spring and fall • No LRIT broadcast on GOES-12

  4. Low Rate Information Transmission • Products • All GOES-East Visible/Infrared/Water Vapor imagery plus GOES-West IR • All GOES-West Visible/Infrared/Water Vapor imagery plus GOES-East IR • Graphic images of MSG and MTSAT • Tropical storm information • Copy of EMWIN broadcast • GOES Data Collection System broadcast • Administrative messages

  5. Low Rate Information Transmission • Improvements • MTSAT LRIT coming soon • New products for both broadcasts • Redundant LRIT at the OSPO COOP Site • Operational test this summer after EMWIN connection is completed • Transition from GOES-11 to GOES-N/O/P • Will not affect LRIT broadcast except for actual switch-over

  6. What is EMWIN? • The Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN) is a low cost, priority-driven weather data broadcast service that provides one of the most robust NWS systems for public weather dissemination • EMWIN provides rapid satellite, internet and VHF radio broadcasts of: • Alerts/Watches/Warnings < 1 minute • Forecasts • Graphics, Imagery

  7. EMWIN Assets • Large footprint • EMWIN broadcast covers over 2/3rd’s of the earth’s surface • Used internationally in the Pacific rim, Caribbean and parts of South America • Reliable • Transponders on GOES East and West for redundancy • Requires little infrastructure in a disaster, not dependent on internet or utility lines • 24/7 since 1996 with almost zero down time • L-band signal adds to reliability • Inexpensive equipment and software • No subscription satellite service. • Free software defined radio receiver application • Small form factor equipment, can even be used mobile

  8. EMWIN- How it Works • Data is collected from the NWS Gateway, NOAA Weather Wire and the Internet • Assembled and prioritized • Sent to NESDIS, (Wallops CDA) where it is up-linked to the GOES satellites • Sent further east via GOES 12 • Sent further west via “Peace Sat” (NOAA donated GOES-7) in a cooperative effort between NWS Pacific Region and the Univ. of Hawaii • Sent on the internet via ip unicast • Transmitted via VHF radio (local re-broadcast) in some areas

  9. EMWIN User Receive System“Screen Shots”

  10. EMWIN GOES-N Satellites • GOES N thru P changes • Data rate doubles from legacy EMWIN • Forward error correction • Offset QPSK modulation • Allows enhancement of the data stream • Coding gains used to retain current user dish size • Dedicated transponder • No eclipse outage • GOES East was replaced April 2010 • GOES West likely replaced December 2011

  11. HRIT/EMWIN • GOES-R constellation • Combined HRIT/EMWIN transponder • Greater user/vendor base • Combined LRIT and EMWIN Broadcast/Product Suite • HRIT/EMWIN Specifications • Frequency: 1697.4 MHz Data Rate: 400 kps • Modulation: BPSK Polarization: Linear • Forward error correction • User satellite dish form factor remains small • HRIT / EMWIN Prototype Receiver • Capable of receiving HRIT/EMWIN, LRIT and EMWIN from all GOES-Series • Information available at www.goes-r.gov

BackgroundUser Transition Costs EMWIN-N • EMWIN-II user transition cost breakdown • Users with frequency stable legacy LNB system requiring only I/F adapter and receiver cost are approx. $800 • Users with legacy LNA system requiring only I/F adapter and receiver cost are approx. $1000 • Complete new system including PC costs approx. $2400
