GOES-EAST Data Users
GOES-16 officially replaced GOES-13 as GOES-EAST on December 19, 2017.
ADDE Information

Other Instruments and Products
ADDE dataset information for the new Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and Level-2 ABI products will be sent in separate emails.
USER SCRIPTS REQUIRE UPDATING
There are many differences between GOES-16 ABI instrument and current GOES Imager. Band numbers, resolution and frequency of images have changed.
McIDAS commands using BAND= must be updated and those using SIZE= may need updating:
Band: 1 0.47 um VIS aerosol-over-land 1.00 km 10848 x10848
Band: 2 0.64 um VIS clouds fog winds 0.50 km 21696 x21696
Band: 3 0.86 um Near IR vegetation 1.00 km 10848 x10848
Band: 4 1.37 um Near IR cirrus cloud 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 5 1.61 um Near IR cloud phase 1.00 km 10848 x10848
Band: 6 2.24 um Near IR land/cloud 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 7 3.89 um IR SFC, cloud, fog 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 8 6.17 um IR High-level WV winds 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 9 6.93 um IR Mid-level WV winds 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 10 7.34 um IR Low-level WV winds 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 11 8.44 um IR Total WV cld phase 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 12 9.61 um IR Total ozone wind 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 13 10.3 um IR Surface & cloud 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 14 11.2 um IR SST, clouds rainfall 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 15 12.3 um IR Total water & ash 2.00 km 5424 x 5424
Band: 16 13.3 um IR Cloud hgt & amt 2.00km 5424 x 5424
McIDAS commands requesting single images must update value TIME= to include seconds, HH:MM:SS. McIDAS commands using a time range with TIME= may or may not need updating.
Modes of Operation
Three geographical sectors are available from the new GOES satellite, Full Disk, CONUS and Mesoscale. The frequency of each sector is the mode of operations.
MODE 3 – Flex Mode – expected to be the primary mode of operation
FD (Full disk) images every 15 minutes
CONUS (continental US coverage) images every 5 minutes.
These are NOT a subset of the Full disk and are scanned
separately.
M1 (Mesoscale sector 1) offset by 30 seconds from M2
M2 (Mesoscale sector 2) offset by 30 seconds from M1
When M1 and M2 are scanning the same mesoscale sector, images are
Only available in the M1 and M datasets.
MODE 4 (Continuous Full Disk)
FD (Full disk) images every 5 minutes.
CONUS (Continental US coverage) These ARE subsetted from FD.
Mesoscale sectors are not available in Mode 4 (CFD)
Additional information
- ADDE servers cannot “follow/track” images at this time.
- Data may come from 1 of 2 sources PDA via STAR or Direct Broadcast. In most cases data will be from Direct Broadcast. Changes in data source should be transparent, although data from the PDA via STAR may be delayed by 20 minutes or more.
- There is an AMPQ event service available to alert users of new data availability for every image. If you are interested in information on or subscribing to this service, please contact SDS sds@ssec.wisc.edu .
If you have any questions regarding access to this data please email us at sds@ssec.wisc.edu.
If you have questions regarding McIDAS use of the data please contact the McIDAS Users Group, mug@ssec.wisc.edu.
