Summary[edit]

Description

NOAA’s most advanced geostationary environmental satellite, #GOES16, has taken its place in the operational constellation, and is now serving as NOAA’s GOES-East! From its position at 75.2 degrees west longitude, 22,240 miles above the equator, GOES-16 is now keeping an eye on North and South America and the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the west coast of Africa.

This GOES-16 full disk geocolor image was taken from the operational GOES-East position on December 18, 2017.

You can now access operational GOES-16 imagery through the GOES-East Image Viewer at go.usa.gov/xnQt8
