Right now at AWC, we use a direct GOES downlink to 16 and 17/18 data. We
generate our own global satellite mosaics pieced together with McIDAS. I
alway try to maintain what I call a hot backup if our local processing
fail. So I have added processing to our scripts to use the images from SBN
to create our satellite tilecache. This is a bit easier if I don't have to
process half the full disk image. I will make appropriate changes.
Thanks.
Dan.
