The National Centers for Environmental Information in partnership with the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites - North Carolina is reprocessing the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) Variable (GVAR) period of record: 1994-2015. GridSat GOES represents a reformatted, remapped and calibrated GOES brightness temperatures and reflectance provided in Climate and Forecasting (CF)-compliant netCDF format. This is similar to the current GridSat-B1 CDR, but at a higher spatial and temporal resolution. The data are provided near the original spatial resolution of the infrared channels (4 km) on an equal angle grid (0.04 degrees). Data are mapped to a region spanning the view of GOES East and West (150 deg East to 5 deg East). The data are provided hourly, with all data mapping to the nearest hour. Currently, the data are limited to variables including the observations from the GOES satellites: 5 total channels. However, future efforts are planned to include some basic cloud information (cloud probability, temperature, etc.). Other possible updates include: improved coverage by expanding the GOES inventory (currently, gaps exist in the CLASS archive) and expand to the predecessor to the GOES Imager: GOES VISSR, which would expand coverage back to the 1980s.
