Get the Current GOES-8 Imagery for Large Regions
Click in the large regional boxes or on the regional name to get the latest GOES-8 low-resolution multi-spectral JPEG image of that region. Click anywhere else to get the full earth picture. Or, jump to the catalog of all regions, including full-resolution sectors of most of North America.
For example, here is the latest multi-spectral image of CONUS (CONterminous United States, in NOAA jargon):
The multi-spectral colorization scheme is:
RED = visible channel (reflected sunlight)
GREEN = 11 micron channel (thermal emission)
BLUE = 3.9 micron channel (thermal + sunlight)
The thermal brightness is deliberately reversed (coldest is most intense color) to make the high cold cloud tops appear bright.
At night, everything appears blue-green, with the warmest areas (tropical land and ocean) appearing quite dark.
In daylight, the high-level clouds appear white, middle-level clouds appear yellow, and low-level clouds appear red.
