The corresponding GOES-17 (GOES-West) Visible/RGB animations are available here: GIF | MP4. A toggle between the 1901 UTC Day Cloud Phase Distinction RGB images from GOES-16 and GOES-17 is shown below. The satellite viewing angles are nearly equivalent from both satellites (around 60 degrees) — but the apparent location of the snow squall features is shifted, due to parallax.
