NOAA shared the first stunning views of the our planet from GOES-19.

00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:14,681
Launched on June 25, 2024, GOES-19 is NOAA’s newest geostationary

3
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:18,084
satellite and the final satellite in the GOES-R Series.

4
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:27,027
Onboard GOES-19 is the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI).

5
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:30,296
The ABI has 16 channels that measure energy at different wavelengths

6
00:00:30,296 --> 00:00:33,099
along the electromagnetic spectrum.

7
00:00:33,099 --> 00:00:39,239
These channels obtain information
about Earth’s atmosphere, land and ocean.

8
00:00:40,473 --> 00:00:44,444
The data is used for short-term forecasts, severe weather warnings,

9
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:47,914
and monitoring environmental hazards.

10
00:00:48,615 --> 00:00:53,053
Recently, GOES-19 observed severe storms, low-pressure systems,

11
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:57,590
von Kármán vortices, wildfire smoke, 
and Hurricane Francine in the Gulf of Mexico.

12
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:11,037
GOES-19 is undergoing post-launch testing, which will improve data

13
00:01:11,037 --> 00:01:13,673
products and prepare it for operations.

14
00:01:14,441 --> 00:01:19,946
NOAA plans for GOES-19 to begin operating as GOES East in April 2025.

Earth From Orbit: NOAA Debuts First Imagery from GOES-19

16
00:02:05,992 --> 00:02:07,794
Imagery from GOES-19 during the post-launch testing phase
should be considered preliminary and non-operational.
