[LDM #RYQ-254352]: Inquiry on additional LDM support and training

I will not be available this afternoon, but I should be available 
tomorrow after 15:00 MST.  Right now, my schedule is completely open
on Thursday and Friday.

This is correct.  The notion is that data received and processed (e.g., FILE 
action)
will need to be written to a location that has sufficient disk space, and
old data will be deleted (by scour, for example) to make room for new data
that is received.  Configuration files like scour.conf, ldmd.conf, and
pqact.conf will be invariant across LDM installations, so they should
be located in a directory that does not get touched by data scouring
routines.

OK, this is easily done.  The first question you need to answer is
which satellite data you are interested in.  Available in the IDD are:

feed      type of satellite data
SATELLITE L1b imagery from GOES-16 and GOES-17 distributed in the GOES 
ReBroadcast (GRB)
NIMAGE    L2 imagery and products from GOES-16 and GOES17 distributed in 
NOAAPort
UNIWISC   select GOES-16 and GOES-17 imagery and products in McIDAS AREA format
          (used in GEMPAK, McIDAS-X, IDV for example)

re:
> Please let me know if you need any additional information or clarifications.
> Thank you very much for your time and help.

We will learn more as we chat.

Cheers,

Tom
