Processing Mode 6 with Version 1.0.9beta
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2019 3:41 pm
A new scanning mode called "mode 6" is being tested on both the GOES-16 and GOES-17 ABI instruments.
The current version of the CSPP Geo AIT Framework Level 2 package was released prior to the specification of mode 6, and cannot process mode 6 ABI Level 1B files. The problem is due to the characters "M6" appearing in the filename (indicating mode 6), instead of the expected "M3" or "M4" (indicating mode 3 and mode 4).
However, users who wish to process mode 6 L1B files with the beta software can simply rename the L1B files to contain the characters "M3" instead of "M6".
For example, rename the file:
OR_ABI-L1b-RadC-M6C01_G16_s20190511501134_e20190511503506_c20190511503553.nc
to:
OR_ABI-L1b-RadC-M3C01_G16_s20190511501134_e20190511503506_c20190511503553.nc
Alternatively, users can create softlinks to the original files with the new names. However, note that the softlinks cannot be in the same directory as the original files.
Full support for Mode 6 will be included in the version 1.0 release of the AIT Framework package.
