Hi Justin, > In the latest blog post about plotting WWA, you set up an envelope for the > warning geometry. > Can the envelope be set up to define the data region of interest (i.e. > lats/lons)? Yes, you should be able to define your area of interest using an envelope. The beginning of this blog post talks a little bit more about exactly what order and format (deg N, deg E) the lat, lon definitions are expected: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-create-a-colored This is referring to our colorized surface obs notebook: https://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/Colored_Surface_Temperature_Plot.html#geographic-filter > This question is particularly of interest for visible satellite imagery, > where it would be > preferable to only request the box of interest, rather than pull the entire > data set and then > crop it through mapping.

My initial inclination is the python-awips data access framework (DAF) may only support full resolution data requests, but I definitely think CAVE (and therefore EDEX) supports subset full resolution requests. So, I'd like to ask you to experiment with it if you're interested? Change the bounding box (envelope) to something you want (you could also test around with this in the surface obs notebook, because it will pull the data back quicker and you could confirm it is the area you're interested in), and then use that envelope to request full disc imagery. I still think, possibly, python-awips will pull back the entire image, but I'm open to being pleasantly surprised. If it doesn't work, we could potentially look into adding that functionality.
