Current Status

  • *** 2354UTC 28Nov2016: Earlier today, one of our main GOES Sounder and Imager processing computers underwent some needed maintenance work. The lost processing has now been recovered. Thank you again for your patience. GOES-15 imagery and products are nominal. (Please contact: jim.nelson@ssec.wisc.edu for any questions/concerns.)

This website contains various GOES derived product images (DPI) as well as composite displays made routinely at CIMSS, usually every hour, using current GOES multi-spectral sounding and imager data.

Realtime radiances and derived products

For those using McIDAS to gain ADDE access to the satellite data used in these displays, use one of the following CIMSSP* ADDE groups: CIMSSP or CIMSSP7. Please see all_cimss_adde_datasets
