Hi Bob, re: > We had a user ask us if there was any freely-available ADDE server with > GOES-17 data. Just stumbling around, I saw that lead.unidata.ucar.edu > has a RTGOESS dataset set up with GOES-17 descriptors/image types, but > no data. Correct. re: > I also saw that NPGOESS on lead.unidata.ucar.edu does appear > to have L1 data for the FD, CONUS, M1, and M2 domains. Correct again. re: > My question is, can I tell the user about this NPGOESS dataset on > lead.unidata.ucar.edu, or is this something you're still working on and > don't want it advertised yet? I was literally just crafting an announcement to several Unidata-maintained email lists on the impending availability of GOES-17 data. We plan to turn on access this Sunday in time for the AMS Annual Meeting. re: > He asked the question on the McIDAS-V > forums, so the server/dataset would be posted there for anyone to see. It is OK to post ** IF ** you list all of the ADDE servers that we will be making the GOES-17 ABI imagery and GLM lightning data available on: adde.ucar.edu atm.ucar.edu lead.unidata.ucar.edu Please include the server in this order!!!!! re: > Thanks! No worries. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
