— Redesigned showcast_config.py —

The SHOWCast configuration file has been completelly redesigned. Now it is much easier to configure the processing scheme and much easier to add new products to SHOWCast.

To add a new custom product to the showcast processing scheme, users need to add:

A custom name for the product:

A suggestion: sat_produc_reg : three letters for the satellite, six letters for the product and three letters for the region.

Then:

sat_produc_reg = True / False: Will this product be processed?

sat_produc_reg_process: The SHOWCast process that this product will be processed.

sat_produc_reg_directory: Where SHOWCast will search for this product file.

sat_produc_reg_identifier: Unique string on the file name convention.

sat_produc_reg_max_files: Max number of unprocessed historical files SHOWCast will process in a single cycle.

sat_produc_reg_extent: Desired regional extent for the plot.

sat_produc_reg_resolution: Desired resolution for the plot.

sat_produc_reg_composite: If it is a composite that uses athe same products from other processes, add a custom string for logging purposes (underscore + three letters).

sat_produc_reg_script: Script used to process this product.

The image below shows an example configuration for GOES-17 Band 09:
