GOES-17 imagery shown here are preliminary and non-operationalGOES-16 and GOES-17 visible imagery shows pseudo-stereoscopic imagery of developing convection on 13 July (over Georgia, click here for animated gif) and on 14 July (over North Dakota, including a cell that caused a tornado, below (animated gif), and Mexico, at bottom (animated gif)).To view these images in three dimensions, cross...

GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) depicted the remnants of Hurricane Beryl, which was situated off the East Coast of the US on 13 July 2018. Note the presence of 2 apparent low-level circulation centers — the primary circulation became better exposed as areas of deep convection moved more quickly... Read More

GOES-15 (GOES-West) Visible (0.63 µm) and GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images — displayed in the native projection of each satellite, and centered on Las Vegas, Nevada — are shown above, depicting the development of deep convection across parts of the Desert Southwest on 12 July 2018. While the GOES-15 satellite... Read More

GOES-17 is currently in the test position at 89.5º W Longitude, and GOES-16 is at the GOES-East location at 75.2º W Longitude. This close spacing longitudinally means that stereoscopic three-dimensional views of visible imagery can be produced. The mp4 animation above (Click here for an animated gif) shows convection over...
