[GEMPAK #KDY-987248]: GOES16 netcdf files

Hi,

No worries.

re:

Hmm...

Your follow-up to my original reply let me know that I needed to examine
the file that you sent as an attachment to your original inquiry.  I just
tried to use the file you sent in McIDAS, and it looks like there is
something wrong with the image, or it is in a format that is not
supported in Unidata GEMPAK or McIDAS.

Question:

- where did you get the file that you sent?

Comment:

Can you try grabbing the L2-CMIP file that we are creating (and distributing
in the Unidata Internet Data Distribution System (IDD)) from one of our THREDDS
Data Server instances and trying to use it in your GEMPAK setup?

Here is the URL for the image of the same time and type that we are creating
that I'd like you to grab and test:

Given the name on the file that you sent, it seems likely that the image
you have does not have the same internal structure as the ones that
we are creating and making available.

re:
> Thanks again for the support!

No worries.  I will be VERY interested in how your testing of the CMIP
images we make available goes!

Cheers,

Tom
