Error with GOES().nearesttime() starting 2025-04-07

[williamhobbs]

It seems that I can run G = GOES().nearesttime(valid_time) for any valid_time before '2025-04-07 18:00' just fine, but later and I get, e.g., FileNotFoundError: noaa-goes16/ABI-L2-MCMIPC/2025/097/19.

For example,

valid_time = '2025-04-07 17:59'
G = GOES().nearesttime(valid_time)

returns

📦 Finished downloading [1] files to [C:\Users\willh\data\noaa-goes16\ABI-L2-MCMIPC].
📚 Finished reading [1] files into xarray.Dataset.

but

valid_time = '2025-04-07 18:00'
G = GOES().nearesttime(valid_time)

returns an error that ends with

FileNotFoundError: noaa-goes16/ABI-L2-MCMIPC/2025/097/19

I see that GOES-19 became GOES-EAST, replacing GOES-16, on April 7, 2025. https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/operations/goes/status.html. I'm guessing that's related.

For reference, specifying satellite=19 fixes the error, e.g.,

valid_time = '2025-04-07 18:00'
G = GOES(satellite=19).nearesttime(valid_time)
