GOES Miscellaneous
Understanding how GOES operates and the nuances of every setting can be difficult. The
following sections will hopefully provide a few more helpful hints and insights into the
operations and fundamentals of GOES operations.
Common GOES Terms
Baud Rate: GOES data is transmitted from the DCP to the GOES satellite at a baud rate of
100, 300, or 1200 bits per second.
DAMS: D ata A cquisition and M onitoring S ystem.
DAPS: D ata Collection System A utomated P rocessing S ubsystem.
DCP: D ata C ollection P latform.
A data logger or data recorder system capable of gathering data from different
sensors and transmitting the data to the GOES satellite.
DCS: D ata C ollection S ystem.
See DCP.
DOMSAT: Dom estic Communication Sat ellite.
A commercial satellite used to rebroadcast GOES data.
DRGS: D irect R eadout G round S tation
A receiver capable of receiving data directly from the GOES satellite.
DPS: D ata P rocessing S ystem.
GMT: G reenwich M ean T ime.
All DCPs are assigned a time slot in which they are allowed to transmit. All
DCPs must have an accurate time clock set to GMT in order to make sure they
transmit only during the assigned time slot.
GOES: G eostationary O perational E nvironmental S atellite.
DCP or DCS systems transmit data to the GOES satellite. There are two
functional satellites used for DCP operations, both are at a fixed position above
the earth. One in the eastern sky and one in the western sky. This allows DCP
antennas to be aimed at a fixed point for optimal operation.
HDR: H igh D ata R ate.
Transmissions occurring at 300 and 1200 baud are considered to be high data rate
transmissions as much more data is transferred in shorter periods of time.
