The GOES-R Series: A New Generation of Geostationary Environmental Satellites introduces the reader to the most significant advance in weather technology in a generation. The world’s new constellation of geostationary operational environmental satellites (GOES) are in the midst of a drastic revolution with their greatly improved capabilities that provide orders of magnitude improvements in spatial, temporal and spectral resolution. Never before have routine observations been possible over such a wide area. Imagine satellite images over the full disk every 10 or 15 minutes and monitoring of severe storms, cyclones, fires and volcanic eruptions on the scale of minutes.
- Introduces the GOES-R Series, with chapters on each of its new products
- Provides an overview of how to read new satellite images
- Includes full-color images and online animations that demonstrate the power of this new technology
Scientists in the field of satellite meteorology as well as graduate students and post-docs in the field of remote sensing, satellite and satellite applications
