GOES-16 data posted on this page are preliminary, non-operational and are undergoing testingRed-Green-Blue (RGB) Composite Images are a handy way of showing information from multiple satellite bands (or band differences) at once. The image above shows an RGB created by NOAA Scientist Andy Heidinger that uses the GOES-16 Visible Band (0.64... Read More
* GOES-16 data posted on this page are preliminary, non-operational and are undergoing testing *GOES-16 Mid-level Water Vapor (6.9 µm) images with hourly surface weather symbols plotted in red (above) showed the large-scale evolution of a storm system that deepened rapidly as it moved across the Northeast US during the...

* GOES-16 data posted on this page are preliminary, non-operational and are undergoing testing *The ABI “Cirrus” (1.37 µm) band is centered in a strong water vapor absorption spectral region — therefore it does not routinely sense the lower troposphere, where there is usually substantial amounts of water vapor. Hence, its... Read More
