We don't get the UNIWISC feed here, since we're not a university.  The file I'm 
trying to ingest is a full-resolution full-disk GOES-16 image (channel 14), 
downloaded from the AWS noaa-goes16 S3 bucket.  We have mcidas-x, and I can use 
this file directly in mcidas, so what I'm doing is an IMGCOPY to an area file, 
and copying it to /awips2/data_store/ingest/.  In the past I had tried 
ingesting the netcdf file directly into AWIPS2 with no success.


If we can get that to work, we would also ingest channels 2, 7, and 9, and also 
from GOES-17.  After that, we need to ingest Himawari-8 and Meteosat 11 and 9 
(we get these from EUMETSAT in HRIT format, and are currently using these 
elsewhere in geotiff frormat).

Hi Devin,

Can you elaborate a little bit more on what you're trying to do?  Are you 
ingesting mcidas files through the /manual/ directory?  Or through an LDM?  
Also, what type of products are you trying to ingest, specifically?

Unidata's AWIPS does currently handle some mcidas area files, if you go to the 
product browser and open Satellite > UNIWISC all of those subfolders and 
products are from mcidas area files.

Also, sometimes products can show up in the product browser with names that you 
would not expect.  It should still be under Satellite, but it's possible it 
might be under something like "Unknown-186">"AREA3502" or something of that 
nature.

Let me know if you can answer my first questions and if this helps at all.
Thanks.

to get them to ingest, but they don't show up in the product browser.
