The new software converts the observed data files into near real-time images that are displayed as quickly as two minutes for mesoscale images and five minutes for full-disk images. The low-latency is a combination of how the data flows through the designed system and its incorporation of features of other CSPP Geo products, like CSPP Geo GOES Re-Broadcast and CSPP Geo Geo2Grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1026\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/03\/geosphere_full_disk_true_color_zoomed_in_land-1026x564.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/03\/geosphere_full_disk_true_color_zoomed_in_land-1026x564.png 1026w, https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/03\/geosphere_full_disk_true_color_zoomed_in_land-325x179.png 325w, https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/03\/geosphere_full_disk_true_color_zoomed_in_land-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/03\/geosphere_full_disk_true_color_zoomed_in_land-1536x845.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2021\/03\/geosphere_full_disk_true_color_zoomed_in_land.png 1715w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1026px) 100vw, 1026px\" \/><figcaption>&nbsp;&nbsp; True Color RGB composite image from GOES-16 data using CSPP<br>Geosphere shows land and cloud features with 500m spatial resolution.

The ABI has 16 bands that correspond to different visible or infrared wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.&nbsp; CSPP GeoSphere allows users to display the information contained in each wavelength to look at real time atmospheric conditions such as snow and ice or clouds. In addition, true color \u2013 a mode that mimics what the human eye would see during daytime \u2013 is a display option that combines multiple bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can view imagery in 10-minute time frames for full disk, 5-minute time frames for the continental United States, and 1-minute time frames for mesoscale domains. Another option produces animations for a certain time period, with the added feature of automatically refreshing as new data are processed. These animations allow users to view the high spatial and temporal resolution ABI data in an easy to use web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This work supported by SSEC and NOAA.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geostationary weather satellites are uniquely situated to monitor changing environmental conditions by providing near real-time data and imagery to view them over time.
