Resources to educate students, teachers, and the general public about meteorology, space science, earth-observing satellites, weather phenomena and benefits GOES-R will provide to society.
Information and resources to ensure that the user community is prepared for the new types of satellite imagery and data that will be available from the GOES-R satellite series.
GOES-R will measure Radiances in 16 visible, near-infrared, and infrared spectral bands at high spatial and temporal resolutions. These Radiances will be used to identify cloudy and cloud-free regions within the satellites’ field of view. Data provided by the 16 spectral channels will be used to generate many GOES-R products, and will also be used in numerical weather prediction models, aiding meteorologists and others in monitoring and predicting all kinds of weather and other phenomena.
