Effective on or about July 24, 2019, the National Weather Service
(NWS) enterprise Emergency Managers Weather Information Network
(eEMWIN) service is scheduled to transition to an operational
NCEP Central Operations Integrated Dissemination Program (IDP)
platform.  The eEMWIN dissemination service operates through a
public facing NWS Web Service and over the National Environmental
Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Geostationary
Operational Environmental Satellite R (GOES-R) Series satellites.
The present operational GOES-R Series satellites are:

GOES-East (GOES-16) at 75.2 degrees West longitude
GOES-West (GOES-17) at 137.2 degrees West longitude
