Hi GEONETCasters!

Lots of new Python examples for GNC-A products lately! 😆

Today we’ll show you how to manipulate the GOES-16 Derived Motion Winds baseline products that have been broadcasted through GNC-A since the beginning of March, as seen on this blog post.

“I see wind vectors.” “How often do you see them?” “All the time.” 😯

The GOES-16 Derived Motion Winds NetCDF’s are received in the following folders:

DMW Folders GNC-A

  • GOES-R-Level-2-Products/DMWF-C02  (Winds Derived from ABI Band 02)
  • GOES-R-Level-2-Products/DMWF-C07  (Winds Derived from ABI Band 07)
  • GOES-R-Level-2-Products/DMWF-C08  (Winds Derived from ABI Band 08)
  • GOES-R-Level-2-Products/DMWF-C09  (Winds Derived from ABI Band 09)
  • GOES-R-Level-2-Products/DMWF-C10  (Winds Derived from ABI Band 10)
  • GOES-R-Level-2-Products/DMWF-C14  (Winds Derived from ABI Band 14)
  • GOES-R-Level-2-Products/DMWVF-C08 (Clear Sky Winds Derived from ABI Band 08)
