Some GOES L2 Cloud files are not recognized by geo2grid

Hello!

I am trying to read and remap GOES L2 cloud files for the mesoscale files found in the directory below using geo2grid:

/arcdata/goes_restricted/grb/goes16/2025/2025_02_13_044/abi/L2

I was able to process the variable TEMP using geo2grid from files in the following directory:

/arcdata/goes_restricted/grb/goes16/2025/2025_02_13_044/abi/L2/ACHTM1

I used the following set of commands:
cd /data/rabin/CSPP/CSPP/geo2grid_test/abi/input
ls -lt OR_ABI-L2-ACHTM1-M6_G16_s20250442203254_e20250442203311_c20250442204155.nc
fn="OR_ABI-L2-ACHTM1-M6_G16_s20250442203254_e20250442203311_c20250442204155.nc"

$GEO2GRID_HOME/bin/geo2grid.sh geo2grid -v -r abi_l2_nc -w binary -f $fn -g WGS84_MESO --grid-configs mygrid.conf -p TEMP --output-filename {platform_name}_{sensor}_{name}_{start_time:%Y%m%d_%H%M}_rows{area.shape[0]}_cols{area.shape[1]}_ae{area.area_extent[0]}_{area.area_extent[1]}_{area.area_extent[2]}_{area.area_extent[3]:3.2f} --no-enhance --method nearest

However, I was unable to process the variable PRES from files in the following directory:
/arcdata/goes_restricted/grb/goes16/2025/2025_02_13_044/abi/L2/ACHP2KMM1

These files are not recognized by geo2grid. Error message: "No supported files found"[ when executing the following set of commands:
cd /data/rabin/CSPP/CSPP/geo2grid_test/abi/input
ls -lt OR_ABI-L2-ACHP2KMM1-M6_G16_s20250442359254_e20250442359311_c20250450000169.nc

$GEO2GRID_HOME/bin/geo2grid.sh geo2grid -v -r abi_l2_nc -w binary -f $fn -g WGS84_MESO --grid-configs mygrid.conf -p PRES --output-filename {platform_name}_{sensor}_{name}_{start_time:%Y%m%d_%H%M}_rows{area.shape[0]}_cols{area.shape[1]}_ae{area.area_extent[0]}_{area.area_extent[1]}_{area.area_extent[2]}_{area.area_extent[3]:3.2f} --no-enhance --method nearest

Hi Bob,

Sorry, we are not familiar with the `ACHP2KMM1` Level 2 files. The files/products that are supported by G2G are described in the G2G documentation:
