GOES-16, formerly known as GOES-R before reaching geostationary orbit, is the first of the GOES-R series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Nov 19, 2016 · GOES-16 has provided continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere, total lightning data, and space weather monitoring, providing critical atmospheric, hydrologic, oceanic, climatic, solar and space data.

GOES-16 and GOES-17 (formerly GOES-R and GOES-S) The GOES-R series is a four-satellite program consisting of GOES-16 and GOES-17 (GOES-R/S) and GOES-T and GOES-U that will extend the availability of the operational GOES satellite system through 2036. Detailed information is available in the GOES-R Series Data Book.

It functions as a 'one click' quick access to the highest resolution version of each image as well as back up in the event Flickr is down. The GOES-R Series (a collaboration of NOAA and NASA) is the Western Hemisphere’s most advanced weather-monitoring satellite system.

Mar 8, 2017 · Working in concert, GOES-16’s SUVI and EXIS instruments provide improved imaging of the sun and detection of solar eruptions, while SEISS and MAG more accurately monitor energetic particles and the magnetic field variations associated with space weather.

Jan 23, 2017 · GOES-16, the first spacecraft in NOAA’s next-generation of geostationary satellites, has sent the first high-resolution images from its Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument. Included among them are a composite color full-disk visible image of the Western Hemisphere captured on January 15, 2017.

The Advanced Baseline Imager is the primary instrument on the GOES-R Series for imaging Earth’s weather, oceans and environment. ABI views the Earth with 16 different spectral bands (compared to five on the previous generation of GOES), including two visible channels, four near-infrared channels, and ten infrared channels.

GOES-16 (GOES East) monitored a severe weather outbreak in the Southern U.S. March 17-18, 2021, which spawned at least 15 confirmed tornados that brought down homes and trees and left tens of thousands without power.
