[McIDAS #ULJ-780808]: GOES 10 data on west server

Hi Fred,

Again, sorry for the delay in responding...

Weird to say the least.  I am baffled as to why the East satellite data
would make it into the WEST server -- the ADDE setup for the data
should not allow this.  The only thing left is some configuration on
the SSEC GOES-11 ingest machine, and that is a box that I do not have
access to.

I apologize for the snafu.

GOES-10 data should have been started coming through the EAST SDI
ingester as NOAA was using GOES-10 in replacement for GOES-12.  The
situation should have been rectified this morning when NOAA restarted
operational scanning from GOES-12; I see that Unidata-Wisconsin
images now (15:45, at least) contain GOES-12 data in the northern
section and GOES-10 in the southern part (ADDE dataset RTIMAGES, descriptors
GE-VIS, GE-39, GE-WV, GE-IR, and GE-CO2).

Please let me know if your problems with the WEST server continue or
were remedied by the return of GOES-12 to operational service.




Cheers,

Tom
