Geo-Browser Adds SUVI Images
The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s SSEC Satellite Data Services added NOAA GOES SUVI (Solar UV Imager) images, both GOES-16 and GOES-18 (pulldown menu names: SUVI GOES-18 and SUVI GOES-18) to the Geo-Browser. More on SUVI can be found at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center or this site. The Geo-browser SUVI page allows for longer loops, RGB composites, and being able to save the animation.
Single Bands
There are six spectral bands on the SUVI; this table from the Volume 3 PUG shows the various uses. These images, built from the GRB data stream, include the six spectral bands.
Loops (mp4) of the other SUVI bands: 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. As well as still image bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
RGB Composites
Several of the single spectral bands are combined to generate 3-band Red-Green-Blue image composites. The web page has four RGB combinations (scroll to the bottom of the “Channel” list).

For those interested in generating unique SUVI RGB combinations, one can experiment with near realtime data and several cases.
H/T
