Goes r satellite data.

The noaa big data project bdp makes satellite data from the newest generation of noaa s geostationary satellites the goes r series freely available through cloud infrastructures. The goes r ground system operates at three nesdis sites. Operational real time goes 1 15 data. Hurricane michael upgraded to a category 5 at time of u s.

The geostationary operational environmental satellite r series goes r the latest generation of geostationary weather satellites significantly improves the detection and observation of environmental phenomena resulting in improved public safety more accurate forecasts better protection of property and greater assurance on our nation s economic health and prosperity. Sensor complement abi suvi exis glm seiss mag. The goes r algorithm working group creates the algorithms that process the quality controlled satellite instrument data and produces resulting data products that are easier to use than the satellite data. The data were converted into goes r netcdf and include daily files and plots.

The big data project is an innovative approach to publishing noaa s vast data resources and positioning them near cost efficient high performance computing analytic and storage services provided by the private sector. Any goes r series satellite stored on orbit will be located at 105º w longitude. The goes r satellite the first of the series will provide continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of earth s western hemisphere and space weather monitoring. Goes r series satellites will have two operational locations.

Goes 17 is one of several next generation weather satellites in the goes r series including goes 16 which currently serves as the operational geostationary weather satellite over the u s. The advanced baseline imager abi aboard the goes r satellite series and noaa 20 s visible infrared imaging radiometer suite viirs provide data on ocean temperatures by looking at the infrared radiation that s emitted from the ocean. 75º w and 137º w longitude. The goes r series a collaboration of noaa and nasa is the western hemisphere s most advanced weather monitoring satellite system.

The goes mag data are reprocessed high resolution versions of the operational goes 8 15 mag data that had not been previously made available at full resolution 2 hz. The goes r series is a collaborative development and acquisition effort between the national oceanic and atmospheric administration and nasa.
