Hi Fred, The following questions were sent to address@hidden on October 25. 'mcidas' is a development account which is not expected to get email, so the message went unread until found by system administration today. In the future, please address McIDAS-related inquiries to: address@hidden If the intention was to post the inquiry to the Unidata-maintained McIDAS-X email list, the To: address to use is: address@hidden re: > After the launch of GOES-R on Nov. 16 what arrangements have been made > for university access to the GOES-R data? We are installing a GOES-R reception system now. As of yesterday at 7 pm, the new GOES-R dish installation is almost complete. re: > Will there be ADDE access of the GOES-R data similar to that currently > available for the GOES data? Yes, we intend to provide open access to the GOES-R imagery and products via ADDE to begin with and eventually with the TDS. Given the intense interest expressed in real-time access to GOES-R data, we may need to limit access if demand exceeds data serving capabilities. re: > Is there a schedule of when data will be available after launch? Other than as soon as possible, no. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
