1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-16 (GOES-East) images from all 16 of the ABI spectral bands (above) displayed signatures of a SpaceX Starship rocket launched from the Starbase facility in Boca Chica Beach, Texas at 1333 UTC on 20 April 2023. The rocket booster condensation cloud was evident in images from all 16... Read More
A sequence of 1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector GOES-18 (GOES-West) images from all 16 ABI spectral bands (above) displayed reflectance and/or thermal signatures of the SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket booster as the Intelsat-40e/TEMPO Mission was launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 0430 UTC on 07 April 2023.A subtle reflectance was even detected...

It’s very hard to choose just one event from every month of the year, but the goal is to show the range of phenomena and locations that NOAA‘s GOES ABI routinely monitors, in this case during 2022. Most loops generated are from the University of Wisconsin-Madison CIMSS Satellite Blog, which... Read More
