GRB Software Package
The GRB software processes the raw GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) data stream, generating products in real-time for all of the GOES-R series instruments. The software operates as a server, ingesting packets from the baseband (digital) GRB data stream, decompressing and recovering the payloads, reconstructing datasets, and writing output to mission-standard NetCDF-4 format. Optionally, quicklooks can be generated from the ABI radiance product.

- CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Rocky 8 or Rocky 9 64-bit Linux (or other compatible 64-bit Linux distribution),
