GOES Designation Changes effective June 20, 2003

The GOES 10 and GOES 12 energetic proton detectors are showing
significant noise problems in the higher energy proton channels
(greater than about 80 MeV). To ensure continued operational
monitoring of important energetic particle data, it is necessary to
reassign primary/secondary designations for the GOES Space
Environment Monitor (SEM) detectors. Beginning 20 June 2003, GOES 11
(113W) will become the primary satellite for protons. GOES 12 (75W)
will continue as the primary satellite for magnetometer, X-ray, and
electron measurements. GOES 10 (135W) will be the secondary satellite
for all SEM sensors - magnetometer, X-ray, and energetic particles.
Because of the degraded state of the proton data on GOES-10, its
designation as the secondary source for proton data is a short-term
solution. More permanent solutions for this problem have been
identified and are being evaluated. Users will be notified when we
define and schedule a permanent fix.
