The RAMMB slider is awesome. The public access is total.
I wish all science was like this.I can't see you finding anything like slider anywhere else. Three satelliites in geostationary orbit giving you everything all the time.
From NASA articlesOn 12 March, GOES-17 joined GOES-16 (launched in 2016) in geosynchronous orbit at 22,200 mi (35,700 km) above Earth. Himawari 8 occurred at 05:16 UTC on 7 October 2014 and reached its operational geostationary orbit in October 2014, at 140.7 degrees East.
https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/BAMS-D-17-0272.1SLIDER provides access to every pixel from the imagers aboard the GOES-16, GOES-17, and Himawari-8 satellites in real time.
The experimental version of SLIDER was unveiled for public use in June 2017 by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) in partnership with NOAA’s Regional and Mesoscale Meteorology Branch, collocated at Colorado State University.
SLIDER provides full-resolution imagery from all spectral bands, for all sectors, from GOES-16’s and GOES-17’s Advanced Baseline Imagers (ABI) and Himawari-8’s Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI). Compared to the previous generation of GOES satellites, the data volume coming from the ABI instruments has increased dramatically. In addition to three times the number of the spectral bands and four times the spatial resolution, the increased temporal resolution means that new imagery is available every 15 min for the full disk sector, every 5 min for the contiguous U.S. sector, and every minute for each of the two mesoscale domain sectors.
If that's the preference (frequency, i.e hourly) no, i did not come across any better while I would have to verify if the entire surface is really pictured hourly. I'm not that savvy in satellite imagery hence can't tell, perhaps I have to dig a bit deeper into the matter.
Until now i was believing that they pass once per day max but things change permanently.
Thanks for pointing at it.
