GOES-16 transmits first pictures, begins calibration (January 23, 2017).
Beginning an era of “high definition from the heavens” in weather imagery, the GOES-16 satellite transmitted its first pictures back to Earth earlier this week.
With over four times the resolution of similar instruments on previous GOES satellites, GOES-16's Advanced Baseline Imager captured the North American continent for the first time. The satellite's increased resolution will help forecasters pinpoint with greater precision weather phenomena on the Earth's surface. Like previous GOES satellites, the spacecraft used Earth's Moon to calibrate its instruments, and the ABI took this stunning image of Earth's limb with a waxing gibbous Moon next to it.
NOAA will announce the final location of GOES-16 in May. The satellite will replace either the GOES-East or GOES West satellite in Geostationary Orbit once NOAA determines which orbital spot the new satellite will be the most effective in. GOES-16 launched on November 19 from Cape Canaveral as GOES-R. Once it successfully reached orbit, it was renamed to GOES-16. GOES-16 is the first of four new space weather stations NOAA plans to launch over the coming years. The new series will revolutionize American weather forecasting. P/C: NOAA
GOES-16 showcases improved capabilities.
NOAA has created much hype over the instruments on the new GOES-16 satellite, which launched November 19 as GOES-R. The spacecraft is the most sophisticated weather monitoring satellite ever launched, with instruments over four times as powerful as the current generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites.
For comparison, both the next generation GOES-16 and current generation GOES-13 satellite, which launched in 2006, took a picture of the Western hemisphere at 1:07pm EDT January 15, which are shown above. Weather forecasters will use the higher resolution on GOES-16 and future satellites to make more precise forecasts and weather monitoring.

Terrible esta complejo de tormentas convectivas en Texas. Reposted from @noaasatellites GOES East captured some amazing visible imagery of large thunderstorms as they erupted over Texas on May 3, 2021. The satellite’s Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) also tracked the numerous lightning flashes produced by the storms. One particularly notable feature of these storms is that they formed along what is called a dry line, or a boundary that separates two air masses of different moisture content—one contains humid air while the other contains dry, dense air. Dry lines are often a key driver for severe thunderstorm formation, where they tend to form on the moisture-rich side of the line. States like Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska frequently experience dry lines in the spring and summer, where moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets dry air from the Southwest. While similar to a cold front, a dry line doesn’t have a strong contrast in temperature, but rather a large contrast in moisture and air density. * * #GOESEast #GOES16 #Satellite #Satellites #Imagery #SatelliteImagery #Storm #Storms #Thunderstorms #Lightning #GeostationaryLightningMapper #GLM #SevereStorms #Weather #DryLine #ImageOfTheDay https://www.instagram.com/p/COdvx1bA227/?igshid=1aovdyai6s0p6

As noted in the previous blog post, the storm produced very strong winds which led to widespread wind damage and power outages.

Bellísima imagen captada por el #goes16 de @NOAASatellites sobre la más reciente tormenta de nieve que golpea el noreste de los Estados Unidos.
El satélite #Goes13 dice adiós. Fue de gran utilidad para el planeta en materia de meteorología. Sin embargo su reemplazo el #Goes16 es más avanzado y ofrece mejor resolución de imágenes para realizar mejores pronósticos, siempre y cuando se posea el conocimiento debido que la ciencia meteorológica exige. Adiós #Goes13. (📷: @noaasatellites, 2006.) @noticiasrnn
