Recent Changes

  • 1855UTC, 06Dec2011: Earlier today, GOES-15 replaced GOES-11 as the operational NOAA west geostationary satellite (http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2011/20111206_goessatellite.html). At CIMSS, the transition from GOES-11 to GOES-15 was essentially completed as of the 18Z products. Please contact: jim.nelson@ssec.wisc.edu for any questions.
  • 0353UTC, 23Nov2011: On 22Nov2011, GOES-12 Sounder South America processing at CIMSS was modified. The following ADDE imagery datasets are no longer available: CIMSSP3/1X1_MCE_SALI, 1X1_MCE_SATP, 1X1_MCE_SAPW, 1X1_MCE_SACE and 1X1_MCE_SAEC. Please use the alternate datasets containing S1, S2, S3 and S4 in their names. See also: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/rt/all_cimss_adde_datasets. If there is any confusion, please contact: jim.nelson@ssec.wisc.edu. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these changes.

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
