[McIDAS #USW-595984]: 20200416: GLM imagery / McIDAS / CoD processing

Hi Mike,

I would expect a change in extent/shape of features when comparing the
L2 TTU products with L3 Vlab products since the L3 Vlab products have greater
accumulations of values over time than the L2 TTU products.  A more
apples-to-apples comparison might be of an L2 TTU product with an L2 Vlab
product of the same time.  Then again, there is also the possibility that
the Vlab products are not corrected for parallax.  I'll need to ask
Tiffany if she knows.

Eric made a point about his TTU products being parallax corrected.

re:
> Tell Eric and others I say hi!

I don't know if I will get to see Eric before he leaves tomorrow evening.
Unlike the Usercomm meetings, general staff is not invited to SAC meetings.

re: we'll know more after getting some comparative samples.

Sounds good.  I have to run now to get to ThAC :-)

Cheers,

Tom
