Thanks very much Pete.
Is there a test dataset (e.g. one day of data for example) we can
use to prepare the migration of our data processing?

Ok, so the question that I posed to the NOAA contacts was:
[pete]
The question has come up on the Unidata LDM-Users mailing list
as to whether there are any plans to replace the GINI imagery
that we currently get for GOES-East over NOAAPORT with a
similar product.
Unidata is planning to make something available, but that will
be via the IDD on the internet, not NOAAPORT the satellite
feed. IDD sites with slower internet connections may not be
able to keep up with these, but those with a NOAAPORT dish,
would be able to grab whatever comes in from that w/o
bandwidth restrictions.
I am aware of the sectorized netcdf4 GOES16 products that will
be coming over NOAAPORT - as far as you know, are there any
plans to also send out GINI or AREA files? I doubt it, but
just figured I'd check.
The response, as I figured is that no, there will be no GINI
or AREA files coming over NOAAPORT for GOES 16 or any of the
later GOES products, only ever netcdf4. Specifically:
[noaa]
--------
I am not sure what you mean by "replace". We do not have plans
to distribute GINI images for GOES16. The GINI format will not
be used for the new satellites. NESDIS has transitioned to
netcdf4 for the GOES-R class of satellites.
On NOAAPORT, there are multiple channels. The current GINI
images are on the GOES channel (pid 102). This includes data
for both GOES13 and GOES15. We have been evaluating GOES16
data for the last few months on the new GRE channel (pid 108).
This data has been available for everyone to evaluate and test
with local software. Due to the increased data volume for the
new satellites, the East and West data will be separated. Once
GOES-S/17 is active, that data will be on the GRW channel (pid
107).
So, after January 2, GOES-East data will only be available
from GOES16 on the GRE channel in netcdf4. Later in 2018, when
GOES17 is operational, a similar transition will take place
for GOES-West. At that point, the GINI format will no longer
be used, after GOES15 is retired.
So, if you are on a slow network connection and depend on
NOAAPORT, you'll need to adapt and use the netcdf4 data. There
will be some probably AREA format files sent out over the IDD
by Unidata, but if that's more bandwidth than you have, you'll
need to be seective on what you request, or work with the
netcdf4 files.

That was my understanding, just figured it wouldn't hurt to
make that
statement out loud. We rely on NOAAPORT pretty heavily here.

Great, thank you very much.
