Hi Robert,
re:
> I am currently accessing GOES-16 data via ADDE from the RTGOESR dataset.
Excellent!
re:
> Will this be available for GOES-17 as well?
We have been serving GOES-17 imagery ever since it became available via
ADDE, TDS and EDEX.
The relevant ADDE datasets are:
RTGOESR - GOES-East GRB L1B imagery all bands, all coverages
CONUS, FullDisk, Mesoscale-[12]
RTGOESS - GOES-West GRB L1B imagery all bands, all coverages
CONUS, FullDisk, Mesoscale-[12
NPGOESR - GOES-East SCMI L2 imagery (ABI and other L2 products) in all
coverages+
CONUS, FullDisk, Mesoscale-[12], PuertoRico
NPGOESS - GOES-West SCMI L2 imagery (ABI only because other GOES-17 L2 products
are not being delivered (as tiles) in
NOAAPort
all bands and all coverages+
CONUS, FullDisk, Mesoscale-[12], Alaska, Hawaii
SCMI (NOAAPort) FullDisk images are all 6km resolution; the other
coverages resolutions are the same as GRB L1B images.
RTIMAGES - GOES-East and West image sectors for bands 2, 8 and 13 in
all available coverages, CONUS, FullDisk, Mesolscale-[12]
GOES-East/West northern hemisphere composites
GOES-East L2 products: CAPE, CTPr, LI, RRQPE, SST, TPW
The FullDisk sectors in the RTIMAGES dataset are all 4km; the
other coverages have the same resolution as GRB L2B and SCMI L2
Cheers,
Tom
