NOAA<\/a> and NASA<\/a> recently released the first ABI<\/a> (Advanced Baseline Imager) imagery from GOES-19<\/a>. GOES-T was launched on June 25, 2024. See the GOES-U launch as the other GOES ABI monitored the rocket signature with rapid scan imagery)<\/a>, including the re-entry<\/a>. GOES-19 is the final (fourth) in the GOES-R series and is currently located above the equator at approximately 90W. GOES-19 is slated to become NOAA’s operational GOES-East in spring 2025 after going through extensive post-launch testing. Also, see several CIMSS Satellite Blog post<\/a>s or this Satellite Liaison Blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOES-19 Compared to other GOES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it is still early in the post-launch test period, good qualitative agreement has been shown to other GOES imagers. Of course, due to parallax<\/a> and other reasons, there are expected to be differences, especially at larger view angles. The above loop as a mp4<\/a>. Or versions that toggle between GOES-19 and GOES-16 only (mp4<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More 16-panel imagery <\/a>(from GOES-16, GOES-18 and GOES-19), including time difference images (which can be very useful in assessing image quality). More GOES-19 data can be found on UW\/SSEC’s geo-browser<\/a> and CIRA’s Slider<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
