Hi Melanie,

No problem.

>You mentioned that the NCAR RAP GOES antenna was not functional.

I was told by JOSS folks that it was turned off due to security issues.
It was apparently turned back on, but there have been other outages.

Aside from JOSS folks, I think you might have some luck getting the
data you want from the Southern Region Climate Center (SRCC) of LSU.
Here are two emails sent to ldm-users in April that talk about
availability of GOES data:

  Try Ric Haag at LSU.  He won't be able to provide it in McIDAS but would
  provide it in netCDF, HDF or raw binary with separately attached earth
  location

  Does anyone know where I might be able to get Visible satellite imagery
  over
  the Gulf of Mexico
  from about 21Z April 11 to 02Z on April 12, preferably in McIDAS area or
  GINI format?
  
  Thanks,
  Robert Mullenax

  Robert,
  
  Yes, as David suggests, we do capture straight from G-12. I just checked a
  few directories. The full-resolution (1km) data that we are able to keep
  on-line (but don't archive) has slid off...
  
  However, we cut out, and register to a rectangular projection, a fairly
  large "tropical" area that includes the Gulf out east of the windwards. I
  can cut it down further to just a Gulf area. This data is sampled at
  4km/pix, and we have it for the time you need. I can convert my data into
  a netCDF or HDF, and have a tool that will specifically produce a
  GMT-compatible netCDF as well.
  
  Let me know if this is of use!

If JOSS and Ric don't have the data you are looking for in the format
you need, try sending a note to the Unidata-maintained needdata email 
list.  Remember that you must be a subscribed member of the list before
posting to it.  You can do this online at:
