Hi Kevin,

Very good.

Now we need to talk about exactly what you want.  Since I haven't used
the SSEC GOES archive, I don't know off of the top of my head the
following:

- name of the machine(s) that you need to contact for the data

- group name of the dataset(s) that you are interested in

- what bands (wavelength channels) you are interested in

- what spatial coverage you want

- what time period(s) you are interested in

- whether the local store of data needs to be 10-bit or 8-bit

Question:

- do you have access credentials for the SSEC archive?

  If yes, this would be for a specific machine (and be by IP address).
  That is the machine where the script(s) should reside so your
  credentials will be valid.

Cheers,

Tom
