Maybe this is your speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WQAwQ0SGkc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WQAwQ0SGkc GOES-R represents a nearly 2 orders of magnitude improvement over previous generations. Imagery will have higher spectral and spatial resolution, by significant margins, and provide coverage in new areas. Consider just one aspect: lightning observation, GOES-R will vastly increase the amount of data available. This is a huge amount of data that wasn't previously available and will no doubt be able to be used in improving weather modelling. However, lightning intensity has been recently discovered to be a key predictor in thunderstorm intensity and tornado formation so having that data available in real time will likely end up leading to better tornado predictions and many lives saved. And that's just one element, every aspect of the satellite is a huge leap over previous generations and will have a tremendous impact on weather forecasting and climate research for years to come.
