Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: [ldm-users] GOES-16 visible bands may be finally fixed

Looks like I did jump the gun and jinxed it.  They just reverted these
changes, scale_factor is back to what is was and the black pixel
problem has returned.

I get it, non-operational and what have you.  Looks like they're still
changing things; I guess I'll take it as a good sign that it's finally
being addressed and eventually it'll stay fixed.
