GOES-11 Super Rapid Scan Operations (SRSO) images
GOES-11 was placed into Super Rapid Scan Operations (SRSO) on 05 May 2009, as a test for support of the upcoming VORTEX2 field experiment. During SRSO, images are available at 1-minute intervals for short periods of time. The GOES-11 visible channel imagery (above) shows severe convection in southwestern Nebraska, which produced hail up to 1.25 inch in diameter (SPC storm reports).
