High Rate Information Transmission (HRIT)

The High Rate Information Transmission (HRIT) is an evolution of two existing data platforms, the legacy Low Rate Information Transmission (LRIT) and the Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN) that’s currently two separate transponders onboard GOES-NOP series satellites. HRIT/EMWIN will be consolidated into one transponder on the GOES-R series satellites that will broadcast NWS warnings/watches, environmental charts, both GOES and Himawari imagery, and a re-broadcast of GOES DCS observations at a rate 3 times faster than the legacy LRIT system. Users can purchase or upgrade the necessary equipment (computer, software, antenna and receivers) from commercial companies for unlimited access to both HRIT and LRIT signals. There is no fee or license requirement by NOAA to receive this data.


The 2023 HRIT/EMWIN User Survey

The HRIT/EMWIN program and NOAA rely on voluntary community feedback to help us evaluate the effectiveness of the broadcast and its value to the community.

Your feedback will increase the value of the HRIT/EMWIN broadcast for its users, help NOAA gauge the impact of the broadcast and the size of the user community, and help NOAA plan requirements for the evolution of the HRIT/EMWIN service for the GeoXO Mission, to begin operating in the early 2030s.

The survey is here: 2023 HRIT/EMWIN User Survey
We are extending the open period until 15 February 2024.

You will receive a copy of your responses, including a link to edit and re-submit them in case you wish to do so.

Your time and attention is very much appreciated! We look forward to receiving your feedback.


Encuesta de usuarios de HRIT/EMWIN 2023

El programa HRIT/EMWIN y la NOAA dependen de los comentarios voluntarios de la comunidad para ayudarnos a evaluar la efectividad de la transmisión y su valor para la comunidad.

Sus comentarios aumentarán el valor de la transmisión HRIT/EMWIN para sus usuarios, ayudarán a la NOAA a medir el impacto de la transmisión y el tamaño de la comunidad de usuarios, y ayudarán a la NOAA a planificar los requisitos para la evolución del servicio HRIT/EMWIN para la Misión GeoXO, para comenzar a operar a principios de la década de 2030.

La encuesta está aquí: Encuesta de usuarios de HRIT/EMWIN 2023
Ampliamos el plazo de apertura hasta el 15 de febrero de 2024.

Recibirá una copia de sus respuestas, incluido un enlace para editarlas y volver a enviarlas en caso de que desee hacerlo.

¡Su tiempo y atención son muy apreciados! Esperamos recibir sus comentarios.
