Current Status

  • 2145UTC, 22Oct2009: *NOTE: On 21Oct2009 (09294), computer maintainence was performed on one of the main processing systems for CIMSS GOES Sounder DPI products. Most of the upgrade went smoothly, but unfortunately some of the work had to wait until 22Oct2009 to complete. We now believe that processing is back to normal, starting with the 20Z, 22Oct2009 imagery/data. We again apologize for any inconvenience this outage has caused. (Please email jim.nelson@ssec.wisc.edu with any comments. Thank you.)

Recent Changes

  • 23-Jul-2009, 1731Z: Updated all GOES Sounder Single Band Composite Imagery to cover a region *identical* to the other Conterminous U.S. Sounder DPI imagery, to aid comparisons; repaired access to the corresponding CIMSSP2/GCxx composite imagery ADDE datsets, and added calibration to this data.

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
