Abstract:
GOES-9 Satellite Images generated in near real-time by the NRL-Monterey SeaSpace TeraScan receiving station. Routine images are produced on a nominal 1/2 hour update schedule. Visible images are only generated during local daylight hours.
Purpose:
These images are generated for research purposes by NRL-Monterey. Additional products may be added at a future date.
