Now in its new GOES East position, the advanced GOES-16 satellite has officially joined NOAA’s operational observation network, providing forecasters with sharper, more defined images of severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires and other weather hazards in near real-time 24/7.
GOES-16 provides high spatial and temporal resolution imagery of the Earth through 16 spectral bands at visible and infrared wavelengths using its Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). GOES-16's Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) is the first operational lightning mapper flown in geostationary orbit.
Working in concert, GOES-16’s SUVI and EXIS instruments provide improved imaging of the sun and detection of solar eruptions, while SEISS and MAG more accurately monitor energetic particles and the magnetic field variations associated with space weather.
GOES-16 has provided continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere, total lightning data, and space weather monitoring, providing critical atmospheric, hydrologic, oceanic, climatic, solar and space data.
Now in its new GOES-East position, the advanced GOES-16 satellite has officially joined NOAA’s operational observation network, providing forecasters with sharper, more defined images of severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires and other weather hazards in near real-time 24/7.
From its operational location of 75.2 degrees west longitude, GOES-16 is keeping watch over most of North America, including the continental United States and Mexico, as well as Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Africa.
GOES East (GOES 16) Of the six instruments on GOES-East satellite for observing the Earth and Sun, it is the "Advanced Baseline Imager" (ABI) instrument that provides visible and infrared views of the Earth. The ABI produces images at 16 different wavelengths, called bands and/or channels.
