Current Status

  • 1855UTC, 08Feb2010: *NOTE: On 10Feb2010 (2010041), important cooling work will be performed in the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) main computer facility, starting at approximately 14UTC (8AM CST), and lasting potentially through most of the day. As a result, there will be an interruption in all CIMSS GOES Sounder and Imager products. Notification will be posted here upon return to normal processing. We apologize for any inconvenience this outage may cause. (Please email jim.nelson@ssec.wisc.edu with any comments. Thank you.)

Recent Changes

  • 19-Jan-2010, 1900Z: As of approximately 0000Z on 19Jan2010, the GOES-14 Imager and Sounder instruments were deactivated. The GOES-14 Science Test was conducted from 30Nov2009 -> 04Jan2010, but the Imager and Sounder instruments were left on-line until very early today (http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/SATS/) (jim.nelson@ssec.wisc.edu)

This website contains various GOES derived product images (DPI) as well as composite displays made routinely at CIMSS, usually every hour, using current GOES multi-spectral sounding and imager data.

Realtime radiances and derived products

For those using McIDAS to gain ADDE access to the satellite data used in these displays, use one of the following CIMSSP* ADDE groups: CIMSSP1, CIMSSP2 or CIMSSP3. Please see http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/rt/all_cimss_adde_datasets
