Hi Randy,
Sorry you won't be able to join us in May.
Thanks for the GOES-R / CF document! I'm sure it will be a good resource in
discussions about CF and satellite data. The project folks focused on
satellite data are planning to use the existing
cf-satellite at unidata.ucar.edu email list [1] to make sure the broader
community can easily get involved in that conversation.
Also, we will have some form of remote participation available. Let me know
if you want to participate in any parts of the meeting that way.
Cheers,
Ethan
