[Datastream #OKM-437493]: Problems with GOES-12 ingest today?

I think that the gaps are likely caused by the "keep out" period of operation
for the satellite.  This is when scans are skipped during certain times
of the day because of sun-related issues.  I see nothing wrong in the
operation of the data ingest on goessouth.unidata.ucar.edu.
 
Cheers,

Tom
