GOES 16 (the first one) is generating some nice images
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.
Should be good for us on the left coast
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.

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.

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