Kaimbridge Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Is GOES-17 now the primary provider (rather than 16) for flux/flaring (at least with SWPC), or is this just temporary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancanneyt Sander Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 For X-ray GOES-17 is primary, GOES-16 secondary. As new GOES satellites are launched eventually the newer one will become primary after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I figured it would at some point, I just wasn’t sure if this was it or just temporary (related to the eclipse season or something?). Plus it doesn’t seem across the board yet (e.g., the proton-flux map appears still GOES-16). Do you know when it happened? I did look on the event/news page, but I didn’t see anything. 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
