The NOAA GOES-14<\/a><\/strong> satellite (positioned over the Equator at 105\u00c2\u00ba West longitude)<\/em> was brought out of on-orbit storage for a brief period of testing, beginning on 10 August 2011.

The images are displayed in the native projection of each GOES satellite, so the cloud features appear slightly different due to the different viewing angles.<\/p>\n

On the following day (11 August 2011<\/a><\/strong>), multi-panel images show data from all 5 channels of the imager instrument on the GOES-11, GOES-14, and GOES-13 satellites (below)<\/em><\/strong>. Note that the older GOES-11 imager is the last operational GOES to have the 12.0 \u00c2\u00b5m IR channel — this channel was replaced by the 13.3 \u00c2\u00b5m IR channel on GOES-12 through GOES-15.<\/p>\n
