This blog posts describes how to use NOAA’S CLASS (Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System) system (link) that contains Level-2 GLM data, (under the GOES-R Series GLM L2+ Data Product (GRGLMPROD) tab) to create useable GLM imagery. GLM processing produces three Level 2 files each minute, and those files can be processed to produce imagery. First, choose... Read More

CIMSS now has a real-time product designed to warn (probabilistically) against regions where Moderate Or Greater (MOG) turbulence might occur for aircraft cruising at levels between 30- and 41,000 feet, which is the standard range for commercial airliners. This product was developed using machine learning with satellite data (water vapor... Read More

GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) and  “Clean” Infrared Window (10.35 µm) images (above) displayed the development of a small nor’easter-type low off the coast of northeastern Florida on 20 March 2021. Onshore winds kept low clouds/fog and light precipitation along the coast for much of the day — and surface wind gusts were as... Read More

NASA conducted a SLS rocket Green Run Test at Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi on 18 March 2021. The test began at 2037 UTC, with the engine burn lasting about 8 minutes. Signatures of the resulting condensation cloud (brighter shades of white) were evident in GOES-16 (GOES-East) ABI spectral bands 1 (0.47 µm),... Read More
