ABIThere are many examples of GOES monitoring the Moon’s shadow on the Earth. This example below occurred on October 2, 2024 and is the CIMSS true color RGB composite from the (Preliminary/Non-operational) GOES-19 ABI. A link to the mp4. And a loop that extends to 21 UTC. Another blog on GOES-19 ABI.In general, images that have been Raleigh-corrected can make the region of the shadow appear larger.... Read More

As first hinted at in this blog post, the Community Satellite Processing Package for Geostationary Data (CSPP-Geo) (https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/csppgeo/ ) group at CIMSS has released a beta version of a unix-based package that computes LightningCast probabilities.  LightningCast (available online in real time for select regions) diagnoses the probability of a Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) observation of lightning within...

NOAA and NASA recently released the first ABI (Advanced Baseline Imager) imagery from GOES-19. GOES-U was launched on June 25, 2024. The (Preliminary/Non-operational) GOES-19 ABI images on this page are from this very early stage. See the GOES-U launch as well the other GOES ABI monitored the rocket signature with rapid scan imagery), including the re-entry. GOES-19 is the final (fourth)... Read More
