GOES Imagery Viewer

The GOES Imagery Viewer by NOAA / NESDIS / STAR offers a robust online platform for accessing and visualizing satellite imagery from the GOES-East (GOES-19) and GOES-West satellites. This invaluable resource provides near real-time and archived data, crucial for meteorologists, researchers, and the public to monitor atmospheric and surface conditions across various geographic regions, including the Continental U.S. (CONUS).

The viewer features an extensive selection of imagery products, including various single bands and sophisticated RGB composites. Key offerings include GeoColor for true color day and infrared night views, GLM Flash Extent Density for lightning detection, Air Mass RGB for atmospheric analysis, and Fire Temperature RGB for identifying wildfires. Other specialized composites like Sandwich RGB and Dust RGB provide insights into specific environmental phenomena.

In addition to RGB products, users can explore individual spectral bands such as visible (blue, red), near-infrared (Veggie, cirrus, snow/ice, cloud particle), and infrared channels. These diverse data streams support a wide range of applications, from daily weather forecasting and disaster response for hurricanes and wildfires to long-term climate monitoring and detailed atmospheric studies.
