Is the near-realite GOES imagery available to download over the internet?
Recently I've been looking for a way to download near-realtime Meteosat imagery. I thought, ok, I'll just download it from their web server. Turns out, you have to use a satellite antenna, receiver and buy commercial software... WTH? This is ridiculous in the 21th century. Why not put the imagery on the internet, for free?
- Rebelgecko 8y agoNOAA has GOES and Meteosat imagery on their website. Meteosat is updated every 6 hours or so, GOES imagery is 15-30 minutes old depending on which image you look at
- pietern 8y agoYes, there are multiple interfaces. This is a nice interactive one: http://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu/?sat=goes-16 http://rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu/?sat=goes-16. There is also an S3 bucket where you can find all data as soon as it is available: https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-goes/ https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-goes/. But the fun part is receiving it in your backyard, of course ;)
- RivieraKid 8y agoThanks! The S3 bucket is how it should be done.
