6-panel SUVI (Solar) Imagery
There are a number of instruments on the GOES-R series to monitor space weather, one of them is the Solar UV Imager (SUVI).
6-panel SUVI Imagery
The same loop as above, but as an animated gif. The SUVI monitors the Sun at 6 frequencies in the UV part of the electromagnetic spectrum. UW/SSEC has started to post daily 6-panel (Multi-Channel) SUVI images on their “Geo”-browser for both GOES-East and -West. The data are brought in via the GRB data stream.
Individual SUVI Bands
A table of the SUVI band uses demonstrates which bands monitor filaments, coronal holes, active regions, coronal mass ejections, flares and quiet regions. Near realtime individual SUVI bands are available at the links to the UW Geobrowser above, but also available at the SWPC.
RGB 3-band Composite SUVI Imagery
As is done with ABI imagery, compositing a number of spectral bands can be done to create a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) image. The various combinations can bring out the various solar features.
You can generate your own daily SUVI RGB image: GOES-East or -West. Or access a few static cases: April 8, 2024 (Total Solar Eclipse in North America) or May 8, 2024 (Coronal Mass Ejection that led to Auroras on May 13) or May 14, 2024 (strongest flare of this solar cycle to date).

Thanks to all who make the satellite imagery possible, the ingest and software to display the imagery (including, but not limited to McIDAS-X and Here GOES Radio). Special thanks to the UW/SSEC Satellite Data Services for bringing in the SUVI data. T. Schmit works for NOAA/NESDIS/STAR and is stationed in Madison, WI. Kudos to M. Weinreb, who helped co-name the SUVI.
