The GOES-14 satellite was placed into Super Rapid Scan Operations for GOES-R<\/strong><\/a> (SRSOR) mode to monitor the development of severe weather over a rare SPC High Risk<\/strong><\/a> region on 12 June 2013<\/strong><\/a>. In SRSOR mode, images were available at 1-minute intervals (compared to the routine 15-minute image interval)<\/em>. The development of numerous large thunderstorms can be seen on GOES-14 SRSOR 0.63 \u00c2\u00b5m visible channel images (above; click image to play animation; also available as a QuickTime movie<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em>. These storms produced tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds across parts of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois (SPC storm reports<\/strong><\/a>). One item of interest revealed on the 1-minute imagery was the appearance of “inflow feeder band” clouds that were developing along the western edge of the large thunderstorm located over northeastern Iowa during the 20:15 – 20:58 UTC time period; without the 1-minute temporal resolution, such subtle mesoscale features would be difficult if not impossible to identify on conventional 15-minute imagery. Numerous overshooting tops could also be seen on some of the larger storms.<\/p>\n

During the SRSOR period, there were breaks in the 1-minute interval coverage to allow for tasks such as satellite “station-keeping” –\u00c2\u00a0 and the longest break occurred between 19:41 UTC and 20:15 UTC (below)<\/strong><\/em>. You can see that during this particular 34-minute period, considerable convective development occurred in areas such as northwestern Illinois. With current Routine GOES scanning schedules<\/strong><\/a>, there is a similar 30-minute gap in coverage over the Continental US (CONUS) which occurs every 3 hours during a full disk scan of the Earth. It is important to note that with the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument on the next-generation GOES-R satellite there will be no such long gaps in the imagery — in fact, during high-impact weather events such as this one, images will be available over special mesoscale sectors every 30 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
