Click on the links below to see GOES-WEST image loops. Theses images were updated regularly at the NOAA Aeronomy Lab, Boulder Colorado, USA, by Owen Cooper (Owen.R.Cooper@noaa.gov) during this campaign.

  • 6-day infra-red loop These images are available every 6-hours. Contours are MSL pressure. Yellows and reds indicate higher cloud tops. Greens and blues indicate lower level clouds and the surface of the Earth.
  • 24-hour infra-red loop These images are available every hour. Yellows and reds indicate higher cloud tops. Greens and blues indicate lower level clouds and the surface of the Earth.

  • 6-day water vapor loop These images are available every 6-hours. Contours are 300 hPa IPV. Purples and blues indicate dry air, and greens and yellows indicate moist air.

  • 24-hour water vapor loop These images are available every hour. Purples and blues indicate dry air, and greens and yellows indicate moist air.
