This is GOES East imagery (and SSEC Roof Top Cameras) in Madison, WI. During daylight hours, CIMSS Natural True Color imagery is shown, whereas during nighttime hours a switch is made to display infrared imagery. These animations are meant for evaluative and educational purposes by SSEC scientists and our collaborators, and are not meant for any other purpose. Note that the light blue circle surrounding Madison delimits a 45 kilometer distance from SSEC. Latest (4-hour duration) mp4 and animated_gif loops. Latest image. These animations are only updated when GOES East scans over Madison, WI, which typically occurs every five minutes.
