Hi there, > Thank you for your email (:- are you available to walk me through a step by > step on how to display this data on the Goes 18? I’m fairly new to this > software so I’m trying to figure out how to use it optimally. If you are new to CAVE and AWIPS, I would highly recommend checking out some of our free, online training materials found at: https://unidata.github.io/awips2/appendix/educational-resources/ We have an online learning course for CAVE called "Learn AWIPS CAVE" that you can complete at your own pace. Section 4 of the learning module walks through how to use the Volume Browser to load almost the exact same data we've been talking about with you. We also have many blogs about CAVE, found lower down on that same page: https://unidata.github.io/awips2/appendix/educational-resources/#cave And we have a previous blog about using the Volume Browser that you can see here: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-explore-the-cave1 Another blog about viewing CIRA products in GOES here: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-colorized-goes-cira The different GOES data can be easily loaded from the satellite menu. If you're interested in data over the Pacific Ocean, you might want to load GOES WEST data, but GOES EAST should have some coverage closer to the coast line as well. Please let me know if you find any of this useful.
