[McIDAS #EVZ-815901]: GOES15 RSO

Hi Ioan,

Sorry for the slow reply.  I am currently in Madison, WI attending
the McIDAS User's Group meeting...

I'm doing OK, thanks!  And you?

I don't think so.  One thing I have seen, however, is a change in the
coverage of some scans that would ordinarily be classified as NH
but got classified in the OTHER dataset.  It would probably be a good
idea to check to see if the same thing happened to the SH scans
during the RSOs.

The ADDE server's approach is to had back exactly what was received.  McIDAS
itself can then fill in missing lines with interpolations if that is what
the user wants.

Sorry again for the slow and brief reply.

Cheers,

Tom
