This post explores data-filling methods for missing data in a GOES-17 Level 1B radiance time series dataset.Background: SSEC’s Data Center is home to a near complete record of GOES-16 and GOES-17 Full Disk Level 1B data. With these data capabilities, it is possible to compile a time series or ‘short climatology’ of GOES data... Read More
The five-day composite of the VIIRS flood product is just one flood product that can be viewed in RealEarth. VIIRS is an instrument aboard SNPP and NOAA-20, which are low earth orbiting satellites. This means that while only two daytime observations may be retrieved per day over a given region,... Read More
ProbSevere is a weather product that uses GOES-16 data to help predict the probability of any severe weather (hail, wind, or tornados) happening in the next 60 minutes. ProbSevere LightningCast predicts the probability that a GLM Lightning observation will occur in the next 60 minutes. Below are examples of these... Read More
