Hi there, Unfortunately, I can't get you a full solution right now, but you might be able to make some progress if you refer to this satellite notebook ("Satellite Imagery"): http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/Satellite_Imagery.html And then use the following attributes: creatingEntity = ['GOES-16', 'GOES-18'] availableSectors = ['EFD', 'WFD'] source = ['GCD'] availableParameters = ['GLM_Flash_Extent_Density', 'GLM_Flash_Extent_Density_w5u1', 'GLM_Minimum_Flash_Area', 'GLM_Minimum_Flash_Area_w5u1', 'GLM_Total_Optical_Energy_tile', 'GLM_Total_Optical_Energy_w5u1_tile'] And use the creatingEntity as an Identifier for "creatingEntity", use the available sectors for setting the LocationNames, the source for setting an Identifier for "source", and the availableParameters for setting the availableParameters. Let me know if this makes any sense and if you make any progress? I may be able to check back in on this in a week or so.
