[Datastream #RHD-489907]: Fwd: [mcidas-x] 20190604: major upcoming change to IDD NIMAGE datastream

Hi,

re:

GOES-15 is not offline, and GOES-15 image sectors in GINI format are
still being relayed in the NIMAGE feed in the IDD.

Question:

- who are you REQUESTing the NIMAGE feed from, and what is the
  REQUEST line you are using?

re:

The feed known as DIFAX in LDMs prior to current versions and SATELLITE
in more recent LDM versions is the same as FT16.  Here is the LDM page
on the Unidata website that describe the various LDM/IDD feeds:

The only Level 2 product that is currently being distributed by NOAA
is the ABI Cloud and Moisture Imagery.  Other Level 2 products have not
yet been released for distribution.  We interpret this to be a result of
the heat pipe cooling problem that is being experienced on GOES-17.

re:
> Anything clarification you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Cheers,

Tom
