Starting this ticket as a catch-all for feedback and discussion regarding the winds quicklooks.

Kicking it off, the one issue I noticed with v2alpha17 testing is that the same plot label is being used for the two winds products that are currently being generated.

GOES-17, ABI L2 Derived Motion Winds

Suggest adding information identifying the band and tracking method (since band 8 is available in two flavors).

Something like

GOES-17, ABI L2 Derived Motion Winds Band 8 (Cloud Tracking) or GOES-17, ABI L2 Derived Motion Winds Band 8 (Clear Sky WV Tracking)

The different types of winds products are described in the draft Software Users' Guide.

It's not clear how to identify the product type from the file metadata (though seems like this came up before and maybe you have a solution?). There is a band_id variable, but you would still need to differentiate between the two band 8 flavors. The filename would work, ugly though it be.
