Hi Justin, That is all good to know. I do believe that CAVE is "smarter" about pulling data from EDEX, and does use tiling and resolution limiting methods to help pull the "appropriate" amount of data. I don't think anything like that is built into the DAF since it doesn't really know what view or resolution you're needing the data in. Also, I just want to mention, the notebook I sent you last night, uses cartopy and contourf instead of pcolormesh. Three of the four sectors you are interested in contain "off-body" data (they have space in the image), and because of this several of the data and lat/lon values are NaN. It has been noted that pcolormesh does not do well with NaN entries (even if you try to remove them, which I did) and that contourf does not have this issue. With contourf you can plot coastlines and boundaries which may be helpful. It was running in a reasonable amount of time (~2 min or so), and like I said, I broke up the products into a few cells, so it's not all running in one shot. If you can't open the notebook, let me know and I will try to convert it to something else more useful (text or pdf).
