SUVI data in three dimensions
SSEC Satellite Data Service is using McIDAS-X and HereGOES software packages to create imagery from the GOES-R Solar Ultra-Violet Imager (SUVI) instrument that monitors solar ultraviolet activity. Realtime SUVI images from both GOES-16 and GOES-18 can be viewed with the SSEC Geo Browser. Rick Kohrs at SSEC created the imagery in this blog post by loading images at different times, i.e., time-shifted by 2 hours. The animation above (three-dimensionality is achieved if the user crosses their eyes and focuses on the image that appears in the middle) shows data from the GOES-16 SUVI at 171 Å, from 1700-1900 UTC on 10 August 2023. A second animation, below, requires the use to don red/green glasses to perceive the three dimensions.
