Most recent GOES data

[jamesmhbarry]

I tried to use your package to download GOES irradiance data (ABI-L2-DSRC) in the CONUS domain. How recent are these data on the AWS? It doesn't seem possible to get data from say December 2024?

Hi James, it is probably related to this change: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/messages/2024/02/MSG_20240227_1935.html

The ground system was updated to a new version of the DSR algorithm that produces the output on the fixed ABI 2km grid rather than the 50km radiation grid which was used previously and the old one was deactivated. Based on that notification there should be a new product likely called SWRC available but I'm not seeing it in the S3 buckets. Maybe the NOAA team needs to add it to the sync to the bucket.

Actually, I looked into it a bit more, and it appears the specific CONUS product is no longer produced, only the full disk files per this source: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/sites/g/files/anmtlf171/files/2024-12/GOES-19_ABI_L2_SW_Radiation_Beta_ReadMe.pdf

You would need to switch to using the ABI-L2-DSRF full disk 2km product after 17-Apr 2024.

Thanks very much, this works!
