NOAA’s Birthday

By Tim Schmit •

NOAA was formed on October 3, 1970. To commemorate this date, a few GOES related figures. GOES has been around since 1975, although there were earlier non-operational versions operated by NASA, such as ATS.

These GOES-19 ABI are early images (preliminary and non-operational), beta stage. Both McIDAS-X and geo2grid software was used in generating these images, using data via the UW/SSEC Data Services. More about GOES-16 and GOES-18. T. Schmit works for NOAA/NESDIS/STAR, from Madison, Wisconsin.
