RE: 5-min Full Disk images?
Hi Tim, this has been done the past three days for "algorithm update testing". Today was the final day of testing. See message below for details.

5-min Full Disk images?
For the past couple of days (6/25, 6/26. 6/27) we are getting Full Disk images at 5-min intervals between 16 and 17Z, but the normal 15-min intervals the rest of the day. I don't recall this...
RE: GOES-16 Visible Color Map
Tim,
Yes, this is the only color table currently part of the baseline AWIPS for bands 1 and 2. Another option for those bands would be the linear table. If you're interested in...
GOES-16 Visible Color Map
Are there any more color maps in the works for channels 1 and 2? The only one accessible in AWIPS 2 at the moment is "VIS_gray_sq-root-12". With GOES 13, there was a color table which...

Reply from Jeremy Martin:
Stephen,
I have been testing the script for the past week and it seems to work ok. Sorry for the no frills instructions, but the overall process is pretty...

Stephen Harrison:
Hello,
Here at WFO SGX, we are trying to create a way to monitor the GOES-16 fire temperature/power products for early fire detection. Does anyone know of a tool or...

RE: Can Total Lightning Help With Warning Non-supercell Tornadoes
Ed - this session has not been updated since it was created. Hopefully as we get cases with GLM data in the future we will be able to update. Always interested in any cases from any...
Can Total Lightning Help With Warning Non-supercell Tornadoes
I have a forecaster that would like to know if there is any new information on the Sept 26 session " Can total lightning help with warnings for non-supercell tornadoes?". When was the last time...
RE: GOES-16 Color Tables
The easiest way to ensure you have the correct color tables is to edit the colormap, if the default is greater than 256 colors than it is GOES-16. This would be true of any of the GOES-16...
GOES-16 Color Tables
Although it appears that we have Goes-16 color tables in our Awips, installed back in February, they look like 8 bit tables with a wrap-around from the high values back to low.

Where can I find ABI Fact Sheets
Fact Sheets (also called 'Quick Guides') have been produced for each of the channels on the ABI. They are available at this website .
AWIPS II Install Directions for IFR Probability Fields
Information from Chad Gravelle: https://collaborate.nws.noaa.gov/trac/nwsscp/wiki/Ldad/GoesrPgLowCloudFog It's important to know that these products will be baselined on the 16.1.1 build.
Information on Day Night Band Installation in AWIPS II (16.1.1 and greater)
There was a VISIT Satellite Chat on 18 December 2015 on the NCC (Near Constant Contrast) Day Night Band imagery that is now flowing to AWIPS II (with a latency of 60-90 minutes). A bug in 16.1.1...
RE: DNB in AWIPS II over CONUS
More updates: The install into AWIPS II has been hampered by a series of Critical Weather Days. So it did not happen on 8 December, nor of 10 December. The lastest update for when NCC DNB data...
RE: DNB in AWIPS II over CONUS
December 8th is the new date for NCC to flow. At 1500 UTC. DNB NCC imagery should first appear, then, along the east coast.
