Mike,
Thanks for your insight. What would it take to get the Windows client up to
the same standards as Mac & Linux? Do more resources need to be allocated by
Unidata to help achieve this goal? Would others in the Unidata community
benefit?

Subject: Re: [awips2-users] Status of GOES-16 imagery on cloud server?
Hi Chris,
The Windows client does not include the latest update or the GOES-R display
plugins. I've been unable to release a working 17.1.1 Windows client and have
shelved it for now, only supporting updates on Mac and Linux.
Because of this, I can not recommend Windows workstations for AWIPS at this
time. CentOS 6 or 7 Linux, or macOS, are the only currently supported
operating systems for CAVE. I feel bad leaving that 16.2.2 Windows client out
there but to download and install but having an old client available is better
than no client available.

Michael,
Thanks for the reply about GOES-16. I have a couple of follow up questions.
We have not been able to load GOES-16 on our Windows clients - is the Windows
client theoretically able to load the images? At first I suspected it was a
performance issue with our machines (they are 4 years old) but I just tested it
on a newer machine and it still wouldn't go. The images load nicely on the
Linux clients.
Related to that, we are about to purchase new lab machines (Windows) and I want
to ensure that they will be able to run CAVE efficiently. I can't find the
Windows system requirements anymore. Can you tell me what configuration I
should be shooting for with the new machines? We're going to have them for
four years.
Thanks,
Chris

HI Chris,
Though the server is ingesting GOES-16, the current CAVE for Linux release is
behind and does not have the menu selections for operational GOES-16, still
TCONUS and TFD.
All of the channels and products can still be found in the "Product Browser"
view until the next release is out.

Hi,
What is the current status of viewing GOES-16 imagery from
edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu<http://edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu>? Most of my
links appear to point toward GOES-13 imagery from early January. Others point
to no data at all. Running CAVE 17.1.1 on a Red Hat machine.
Thanks,
Chris
