Notes
05/01/20 - GOES-15 was decommissioned on March 2, 2020, being replaced by GOES-17 as the operational GOES-West satellite. Please go to the GRABIPRD search page to search and order recent GOES terrestrial data and products. Most of the level 2 products are available, as well. 01/02/18 - The archive of GOES-13 satellite data and derived products ended on January 2, 2018. The replacement for GOES-13, also known as GOES-East, is GOES-16. Please go to the GOES-R Series ABI Products GRABIPRD Search page to order selected GOES-16 data. Only the ABI L1b Radiance data and L2 Cloud and Moisture Imagery products are public at this time. The remainder of the GOES-16 products will be released later this year.
