[AWIPS #QWS-822250]: GFS Model Data & GOES 17 Hot Spots ?

Hi Pete,

Correct, with the recent upgrades to GFS we had to switch from .25 degree GFS 
global data to 1 degree. If you close CAVE, remove caveData, and re-open CAVE 
the menu should be updated to say 1.0 degree. You can also look at the full 
suite of GFS 1 degree using the volume browser.

Unfortunately, none of the GOES-17 derived products are available via NOAAPort 
at this time, so if we don't have the data we can't process it. Sorry.
