NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) I-M and N-P Series Block 11 Data

GOES Satellite Data - Block 11 (GVAR_B11) - GVAR is the data transmission format used to broadcast environmental data measured by the independent GOES Imager and Sounder instruments. The Block 11 data files contain ancillary instrument data and metadata that may be useful to expert users. All sounder data will be included in Block 11, but not all Block 11's will contain sounder data. As the GVAR data are received by NOAA, the sounder blocks are stripped out and converted into McIDAS AREA format for final archive.
