In the next generation of GOES satellites will EMWIN change?
Yes. The next generation of GOES satellites, the N/Q series, will have a transponder dedicated to EMWIN. The current EMWIN broadcast will be replaced by “EMWIN-N”. In addition, the NWS is currently participating with NESDIS to define the EMWIN service in the GOES R series now targeted for the 2014 era and beyond. We will ensure the user community is informed well in advance of all changes to EMWIN.
