[McIDAS #QCG-837508]: Excessive Noise on GOES-East data

Hi Fred,

re:

A foot of snow in the dish is the likely cause.  Mike should be
swapping the goeseast naming to a different dish that should
not be affected as much as the current dish.

Can you pass along a pertinent URL?

re:
> What are the Unidata plans for receiving GOES-R data?

We have worked through costs for installing both GOES-East
and GOES-West ingestion in the GOES-R era.  Since the hardware
requirements that will be needed for GOES-R ingest seem to still
be "fluid", the best we can do is keep informed and redo budgets.

re:
> Will current McIDAS access methods via ADDE still be supported
> in the GOES-R era?

We believe that the answer to this is yes.  We will not be able
to commit to this position until more specific information is
known about the services that NOAA will implement.

Cheers,

Tom
