[ldmMcidas #PVL-726977]: goes 10 imagery

Hi Waldenio,

re:

OK.  I just setup the ingest to mopora.

I setup my data request and pqact.conf entries to use this kind of pattern.

Correct.

Correct.  The easiest thing to do is to add the 'S' to the 'U'.

These 'product codes' used to be very important for processing for McIDAS.
They can be ignored by sites not using the McIDAS routing table to process
the images.  The explanation for the McIDAS routing table is too complicated
to explain in a short email.  There is information in the Unidata McIDAS
User's Guide, however.

Cheers,

Tom
