Just a quick update on this. I checked in with Tom Yoksas at Unidata to make sure he had seen this. His response: > Is anything happening with AREA or GINI imagery for GOES16 after the cutover? [Tom] Not yet. On my list of things to do is create some McIDAS scripts that will create sectors of the same coverages that are currently being sent as GINI images in NOAAPort. The format of the new sectors will not be GINI, however, but, rather AREA. Writing the same into the GINI format would entail creating a GINI output ADDE server or a converter from AREA to GINI. I am under the impression that the GREAT majority of Unidata sites that use the GINI imagery being distributed in NOAAPort could handle the same in AREA. Please let me know if you do not think that this is the case. > What idd data feed would you be making those available on? [Tom] I'm thinking the images would be put into NIMAGE or UNIWISC. So, the gist is that Unidata plans to make something available, probably some AREA files, but they probably won't be ready right at the cutover from GOES13 to GOES16. Is anyone out there currently using the GINI imagery that comes in over NOAAPORT that could not use similar imagery if it came in in McIDAS AREA format instead?

With the imminent switchover from GOES-13 to GOES-16 as the GOES EAST operational satellite, does anyone know whether the Unidata McIDAS and GINI imagery will be affected at all, or will this changeover be transparent?
