Real-time Satellite Data at GHCC
GEOSTATIONARY
  GHCC
operates and maintains a GOES
GVAR direct readout ground station (
GTI Electronics and DirectMet
by GST, Inc.). This data stream feeds operational and research
activities at GHCC, many of them conducted by the Infrared Research
Group (see other pages). All real-time GOES 8 data transmitted
by the satellite is ingested and made available to the public
(including 1 km visible data!) through the World Wide Web and
anonymous ftp site in a variety of forms (JPEG, GIF, HDF, and
McIDAS AREAS).
GOES Information:

GHCC GOES Imager and Sounder Products
GHCC
is also a host site for GOES 8, GOES 10, GMS, METEOSAT, and FY2
geostationary satellite data which is acquired from other internet
sources. This data is processed and served to the public in JPEG,
GIF, HDF, and McIDAS AREA formats.
Other Geostationary Satellite Information:
GMS,
METEOSAT,
FY-2,
GOMS,
INSAT
DERIVED PRODUCTS
We produce
a number of geophysical parameters derived from geostationary
satellite in real-time to support ongoing research. You can access
these real-time products below.
Real-time land surface temperature, surface insolation, surface albedo and precipitable
water from the GOES-8 Imager and land surface temperature and precipitable
water from the GOES-8 Sounder (test mode but take a look!)
