Hi, re: how to tailor your LDM REQUEST(s) for GOES-16/17 data? > what would be the request strings to get the following? > > OR_ABI-L2-CMIPF-M3C07_G16 > OR_ABI-L2-RRQPEF-M3_G16 > OR_ABI-L2-ACHAF-M3_G16 The only Level 2 (L2) product that is being distributed in the GRB and then relayed in the IDD SATELLITE (aka DIFAX) feed is the GLM. The NWS is sending L2 products for GOES-16 in the NOAAPort SBN, and we are distributing the products in the IDD NOTHER or HDS feeds. The LDM pattern-action file action that we used to process the L2 products looks like: # # ------------------------------------- # - NOAAPORT GOES-16 netCDF4 Producs - # ------------------------------------- # NOTHER|HDS ^IXT(...) KNES ([0-9][0-9])([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]) PIPE -close etc/TDS/ldm-alchemy/strip_header.py /data/ldm/pub/native/satellite/GOES/GOES16/Products/\1/(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2/GOES16_\1_(\2:yyyy)(\2:mm)\2_\3%S.nc4 The python script strip_header.ph is part of the ldm-alchemy offerings in the Unidata section of GitHub. re: OR_ABI-L2-CMIPF-M3C07_G16 As far as I can tell, there are none of these L2 products in NOAAport. re: OR_ABI-L2-RRQPEF-M3_G16 A 'notifyme' for the LDM/IDD L2 products that are of this type looks like: 20190107T232711.712985Z notifyme[26891] INFO notifyme.c:222:notifymeprog_5() 1765476 20190107231156.885282 HDS 730928 IXTF99 KNES 072311 20190107T232737.452223Z notifyme[26891] INFO notifyme.c:222:notifymeprog_5() 1751002 20190107232646.124504 HDS 731229 IXTF99 KNES 072326 This listing shows that this product is in the IDD HDS datastream. Since the Product IDs look like: IXTF99 KNES 072311 IXTF99 KNES 072326 ... an LDM REQUEST line that would ask for these would be: REQUEST HDS "IXTF99" <upstream feed hhost> re: OR_ABI-L2-ACHAF-M3_G16 This is a cloud top height L2 product. The LDM Product IDs for this type of a product will include G99. These products are also in the HDS feed. Some example Product IDs are: IXTG99 KNES 072332 IXTG99 KNES 072333 IXTG99 KNES 072333 etc. an LDM REQUEST line that would ask for these would be: REQUEST HDS "IXTG99" <upstream feed hhost> re: > Also, if this is possible: > OR_GLM-L2-LCFA_G16 There are no L2 products that match this name either in NOAAPort or in the GRB. However, it is interesting that you are inquiring about this type of a product as products with this kind of naming are being produced by Eric Bruning of Texas Tech, and he was providing a test feed of his products to us, but we haven't seen any of these products from his LDM for at least a couple of weeks now.
