Dee,

I never intended for you to not be involved.  My thinking was to be a
"good neighbor" by trying to minimize the impact on your resources.

>We have a few concerns so we will need to some testing here.

I expected that there would be quite a bit of jockying for position
on both sides.

This is really a "chicken and egg" problem.  My idea is to increase
what is being sent out in the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream in a
reasonable manner.  This would probably take the form of doubling the
temporal frequence of imager products and increasing the VIS product
resolution from 4 to 2 km.  With this set as the baseline, I would then
want to make available by ADDE through the unirec machine as much data
as is possible/practical.  This means that SSEC and the UPC would need
to work together to determine what "as much as possible" really means.
