Hi Joleen,

Okay, after some digging around, I discovered that in fact the CDM does not 
currently recognize the geostationary projection.  Apparently, this has been on 
the todo list, but we haven't had files and a concrete use case until now.  
I've created a JIRA ticket 
(https://bugtracking.unidata.ucar.edu/browse/TDS-538) to implement the feature, 
and we'll be using the files you provided as our guinea pigs.  Before we head 
down the chute, can you tell me for certain that the files you provided are 
good examples of GOES-R data?

The second issue I'm going to address is the ability to aggregate across 
wavelength.  From our perspective, it makes sense to treat wavelength as a 
legitimate dimension, even though it is not a geo- or time-reference 
coordinate.  I did get an earful of cautionary advice about conventions, and so 
on, but this is a feature we'd like to implement.  I've created a separate JIRA 
ticket here (https://bugtracking.unidata.ucar.edu/browse/TDS-539) for that 
feature.

We'll be tackling the projection first, then the wavelength aggregation 
feature.  I don't yet have a timeline for implementing either, though.

Cheers,
  Lansing
