Disclaimer. The products from GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) shown here are experimental. These are generated and maintained within a research environment (here at CIMSS (Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies)) and are not intended to be considered operational. Timeliness, availability, and accuracy are sought but not guaranteed.

For the lastest status of the operational GOES satellites, please check the NOAA Satellite Information System web page (NOAASIS). Outages may be predictable, as scheduled during eclipse situations and for maneuvers; or, they may be impromptu, as during periods of hardware or software abnormalities.

The majority of routine GOES products derived at CIMSS, and the displays thereof, (including vertical atmospheric profiles and cloud information from the GOES Sounder data) are generated on a unix machine named "suomi", which is an IBM J40 computer (of the RISC System/6000 series).
