SUBJECT: Changes to GOES-18/19 Tile Sizes impacting Non-AWIPS users
.
Attention: Non-AWIPS Users
.
Recent updates to GOES-18 and GOES-19 metadata over NOAAPORT use actual, variable tile sizes rather than static/maximum dimensions (product_tile_width and product_tile_height).
.
Issue: Data processing software expecting static dimensions may throw array/slice non-conformance errors or fail to generate images.
.
Fix: Update your data-ingest and image-generation scripts to handle variable tile sizes.
