Hi Matthew,

I see GLM netCDF files in the directory that the ADDE server entries are 
pointing
at being updated every 20 seconds as expected, and 'ncdump's do not show any
problems with the files.  My impression is, therefore, that we are serving
everything that we are receiving from our GOES-16 downlink.

I also checked the same things on the other server that we maintain that has
all GOES-16 products and serves the ABI image and GLM lightning products,
atm.ucar.edu, and I see the same thing there - no apparent problem with receipt
of GLM files every 20 seconds and viable files.

re:
> Thanks for having a look!

No worries.

Quick questions:

- which GLM products are you looking at?

- which version of McIDAS are you using to look at them?

Cheers,

Tom
