A special 1-minute Super Rapid Scan Operations Experiment for GOES-R (SRSOR) took place August – October 2012 while GOES-14 was out of storage. This was a unique opportunity to combine rapid scan imagery and demonstrate the future capabilities of the Advanced Baseline Imager and Geostationary Lightning Mapper. This animation shows visible 1-minute SRSOR imagery for Hurricane Sandy from October 25‒-31, 2012.
