Some more info. This sounds pretty bad to me; like they're losing attitude control. This is definitely the satellite itself, not ground control or comm problems.

If you don't mean it sarcastically then you are right. Bad timing would be if there were a huge Cat 5 beast somewhere in the basin (like the outage that occurred when Mitch was at her peak). Even worse would be an outage during a Katrina-type situation.

It's not like a storm would be lost track of; there are a variety of polar orbiters, you just would only have a sat shot every few hours.

Also, GOES-11 is in storage, but everything works on it, and sitting over the central US.

I don't know what the time frame for making it operational and moving it eastwards would be. My impression is a couple of days.

I was just going to ask what the heck is going on with the sattelite imaging - I thought first it was just the GHCC site which is screwed up, but everyplace else I've chacked had the same problems. Last image available is from 1540Z, and the last two images are way out of alignment.

A little piece of good news is that the backup site of NRL has the meteo 7 images for TD17 but the quality is not great.

One other thing to keep in mind is that there's a VAST amount of GOES data used in the init of the models.

This would totally screw that up.

GOES 10 has been switched to full-disk mode for now...but I'm not sure of any sites that resolve the full disk imagery...

There are, but they only update every 6 hours which I guess isn't often enough.

Yeah, GOES-11 is in cold storage at 104W, which would give decent coverage of the west Atlantic even without repositioning.

I know they wake it up about once a year to test, but I don't know how long it takes to get it operational.

Sounds like our GOES-12 has been singed a bit by recent Solar Activity and it's aftermath. The term for such problems is SEU for Single Event Upset which can be transient or permanent depending upon what has been damaged.
