SDI-104 GVAR version 20090805
Software and Instructions
Note: This
package contains an updated version of the GVAR server that has not been
thoroughly tested. If there are errors/bugs in the software it will impact
all GOES data (not just GOES-14 data). Therefore, if you elect to install this
package it should be done only on a test GOES ingestor/server (rather than
on an operational GOES ingestor/server).
A new, fully tested and supported SDI-104 GVAR package is planned for later
this year (NASA expects to complete checkout of GOES-14 by mid-December
and hand it over to NOAA for operational use). Sites that can wait for that
package should do so (rather than install this package).
SDI-104 GVAR version 20090805 contains an updated GVAR server that now stores
GOES-14 calibration information inline rather than obtaining it from Block
0. As noted in the boxed text above, the updated server has not been thoroughly
tested, so this 20090805 version should not be installed on opertional servers.
