[IDD #LFS-688291]: Fw: GOES-16 to GOES East switchover

Hi Pete,

Yikes, Garp?!

:-)

Correct.

re:

AWIPS can also handle AREA files.

Well, they are hosed as it is with no GINI, but I take your point.

re:

I'm thinking that the images would be put into NIMAGE or UNIWISC.  They would
definitely not go in EXP or SPARE.

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.  I'm glad you pinged me about the ldm-users traffic ... I'm immersed
in trying to find a bug in my McIDAS v2017 distribution and updating my McIDAS
v2017 documentation at the same time...

Cheers,

Tom
