Now in its new GOES East position, the advanced GOES-16 satellite has officially joined NOAA’s operational observation network, providing forecasters with sharper, more defined images of severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires and other weather hazards in near real-time 24/7.

You can view the latest, stunning imagery from GOES East via NOAA's new GOES East Image Viewer. The Viewer provides "full disk" views of Earth (covering the Western Hemisphere) as well as views of the continental US and adjacent waters (CONUS). Finally, the viewer also provides "mesoscale" imagery--views of small regional or areas that can help reveal significant environmental features.

Visitors will be able to access and download still images as well as animated sequences of imagery covering several hours.
