GOES 12 problems

#1 Postby hurricanetrack » Thu Jun 10, 2004 9:41 pm

I have been trying to see what's up in the Atlantic Basin but the GOES 12 links are all showing bad data. It has been this way for several hours. Hope nothing has happened to THAT satellite! Anyone know what is going on?

I have been having the same problems. Are these the first signs of an "ALIEN INVASION"? Not really, probably just technical problems.

Doesn't seem like anything wrong with the satellite itself.

The GHCC satellite site is working fine. It's just a problem with SSD.

This would be a very bad thing if a tropical storm was heading towards the coast. Then the satellite went blank then the tropical cyclone bombed! :eek:

Oh, 3-4 years ago NCEP had this old Cray computer that constantly failed; only seemed to do so during tropical season, never the winter, but you'd end up having no ETA or AVN (pre-renaming to GFS) or GFDL run for a given time, at all.

The thing finally literally went up in flames.
