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<\/a>‘s GOES ABI<\/a> routinely monitors, in this case during 2022. Most loops generated are from the University of Wisconsin-Madison CIMSS<\/a> Satellite Blog<\/a>, which is linked from the top of the entries. Imagery from GOES-16, -17 and -18 is showcased, along with the sectors it scans: Full Disk (10-min intervals), Contiguous US (5-min intervals) and mesoscale sectors (30-sec to 1-min intervals). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all who make the satellite imagery possible, the ingest and software to display the imagery (including, but not limited to McIDAS-X<\/a>, geo2grid<\/a>, geosphere<\/a>, Real Earth<\/a> and AWIPS<\/a>) and all who generated CIMSS Satellite Blog entries, especially Scott Bachmeier<\/a> and Scott Lindstrom<\/a>.
