Message Issued: January 07, 2004, 2020 UTC
Satellites Impacted: GOES-10 and GOES-12
Products Impacted: TW* - Satellite Derived Winds
Date/Time of Initial Impact: January 13, 2004, 1500 UTC

**********************
Update:
Changes to TW* bulletins were delayed several times due to distribution
problems downstream of NESDIS and other issues.
The final cutover date of these bulletins is January 13, 2004 at 1500Z.
Note that similar changes to TCUS* bulletins occurred in mid December.
**********************
This message updates previously issued messages in August, September,
and December regarding an identifier change to several satellite text
products. Previous delays are related to issues in transmitting the
data to a few users. Note that both sets of files have been
disseminated for several months.
In reference to
http://WWW.NWS.NOAA.GOV/dm-cgi-bin/chgshow.pl?fn=NESDIS20904.txt and
http://WWW.NWS.NOAA.GOV/dm-cgi-bin/chgshow.pl?fn=NESDIS1.txt (also found
at http://WWW.NWS.NOAA.GOV/datamgmt/notices.shtml ) the communication
identifier for the TW* (High Density Wind) bulletins as produced by the
Satellite Services Division will changes identifiers from KWBC to KNES
to properly reflect the identifying organization.
Currently, both sets of bulletins are being disseminated to the FOS and
GTS users for parallel testing and operation.
Effective January 13, 2004 at 1500Z, the KWBC bulletins will be
terminated for TW*, leaving only the KNES bulletins for use. This
change to KNES for TW* bulletins has been delayed several times due to
downstream dissemination and other issues.
