| description | <p>The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series is operated
by the US National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While in operation since the mid-1970s,
the current series (GOES 8–15) has been operational since 1994. This
document describes the Gridded Satellite (GridSat) data, which provide GOES
data in a modern format. Four steps describe the conversion of original GOES
data to GridSat data: (1) temporal resampling to produce files with evenly
spaced time steps, (2) spatial remapping to produce evenly spaced gridded
data (0.04° latitude), (3) calibrating the original data and
storing brightness temperatures for infrared (IR) channels and reflectance for
the visible channel, and (4) calculating spatial variability to provide extra
information that can help identify clouds. The GridSat data are provided on
two separate domains: GridSat-GOES provides hourly data for the Western
Hemisphere (spanning the entire GOES domain) and GridSat-CONUS covers the
contiguous US (CONUS) every 15 min (dataset reference: <a href="https://doi.org/10.7289/V5HM56GM" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.7289/V5HM56GM</a>).</p> |
