[python #ZYD-459970]: MetPy Mondays #11 - Plotting GOES-16 Data with Widgets



Matt,

That's strange about the blog comment. It just worked fine for me; have you 
tried a different browser? Regardless, this is probably a better forum for this 
discussion anyway. Another appropriate venue would be the python-users list:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/index.html#mailinglists

Accessing the S3 archive of GOES-16 data is a little involved, due to the need 
to assemble parts of names, so I've attached a notebook with some code I've 
used to do so. It also shows using a different colormap from matplotlib for 
grayscale imagery.

It's important to note that only the last ~30 days are available directly 
accessible from S3. Older files are migrated to Amazon's Glacier storage; what 
this means is that while they show up in the bucket, you need to use a 
different mechanism to request the data. I've not yet figured out how to access 
data in Glacier from Python.
