GOES 16 (the first one) is generating some nice images :smiley:

Hi, does 16 only produce US maps?

No, here’s British Columbia https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFGc0JDWAAAeZ1S.jpg

Remember though that it is geostationary, i.e. parked at the equator, so it’s view towards the poles isn’t great.

More pics.

GOES-S = GOES-West should launch in a few minutes :smiley:

Launched successfully 1 March. https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES-R-Series-Satellites

Should be good for us on the left coast :smiley:

Yep - looking forward to it.

The data from GEOS16 is fantastic! Huge improvement. They still have a few bugs in getting the data out occasionally, but all in all great pictures. The storm in the Northeast today is really impressive from GEOS16: http://mikeymsweather.com/wxGOES16-HAniSLoops.php Thanks to Jerry for the script.

Cheers

Houston, we have a critical problem with GOES-17 :frowning:

That’s terrible news! Hopefully they can come with some kind of a fix or workaround, but it sure doesn’t sound promising right now.

Unfortunately the situation has not improved :frowning:

WooHoo! Now it has and we are getting GOES-17 (West) imagery :smiley: It’s not fully good yet but the local TV guys are using it. Time lapse here

That is nice!

Thanks Niko

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

More GOES-17 images posted today. Nice animation of Hawaii.
