Hi Matthew, re: > I have a follow-up question to this new product. Is there > an ADDE server to read this data? I will be deploying my updates to the ABIN servers that add support for the new Vlab GLM products on all of our public facing ADDE servers tomorrow or Wednesday. For reference, the list of our public facing ADDE servers is: atm.ucar.edu lead.unidata.ucar.edu adde.ssec.wisc.edu atm-nwsc.unidata.ucar.edu The new products will be available in the following ADDE groups: NPGOESR - NOAAPort products from GOES-16 NPGOESS - NOAAPort products from GOES-17 NPGWEST - NOAAPort products from GOES-17/GOES-18 I haven't fully settled on the descriptor name(s), but I am thinking of: VLABGLMFD I am open to suggestions if this descriptor seems clumsy. I'll attend to this detail when I deploy the new ABIN code. Also on my list of things ToDo is to update the SSEC McIDAS code repository with the new ABIN server code. Example of what an IMGLIST output will look like _after_ the new code gets deployed: IMGLIST NPGWEST/VLABGLMFD FORM=ALL Image file directory listing for:GLMVLAB/GEL2FD Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Res (km) Image_Size sensor Lat Lon Lat Lon --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ----- ----- ------------ 48 GOES-16 L2 1 JUN 22152 00:14:00 0 75 Band: 28 L2: GLM - TTU Flash Extent Density 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 29 L2: GLM - TTU Flash Centroid Density 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 30 L2: GLM - TTU Minimum Flash Area 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 31 L2: GLM - TTU Average Flash Area 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 32 L2: GLM - TTU Total Energy 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 33 L2: GLM - TTU Group Extent Density 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 34 L2: GLM - TTU Group Centroid Density 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 35 L2: GLM - TTU Average Group Area 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 36 L2: GLM - VLAB Flash Extent Density 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 37 L2: GLM - VLAB Total Optical Energy 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 Band: 38 L2: GLM - VLAB Minimum Flash Area 2.02 2.00 5424 x 5424 proj: 0 created: 2022152 1400 memo: GOES Full Disk - Mode 6 type:ABIN cal type:RAW offsets: data= 768 navigation= 256 calibration= 768 auxiliary= 0 doc length: 0 cal length: 0 lev length: 0 PREFIX= 0 valcod: 0 zcor: 0 avg-smp: N lcor: 1 ecor: 1 bytes per pixel: 2 ss:187 Resolution Factors (base=1): Line= 4.0 Element= 4.0 IMGLIST: done re: > Thank you!
