EMWIN on HRIT/EMWIN Broadcast Undergoing 30-day Test

The NWS EMWIN service over the GOES-16 and 17 HRIT/EMWIN broadcast has entered a 30-day test period (20 JUN - 19 JUL 2019).  Content on EMWIN subchannels 20, 21, and 22; and on the associated EMWIN FTP archive file service should remain stable over the next 30 days, unless a significant issue is encountered.

Users are reminded that products received on the EMWIN sub-channels and from the EMWIN FTP archive files should not be used for operations until the EMWIN service over HRIT/EMWIN is declared operational by the NWS. 

Please address any content or service issues you encounter to:  nws.emwin.support@noaa.gov

Thank you.
