[Datastream #VJG-683965]: Access to GOES-16 online data

Hi Fang,

There are two different types of images that you are looking for:

- 16-channel ABI imagery from GOES-16

  These images contain the radiances  and brightness temperatures
  that you are looking for.

- GOES-16 Level 2 ABI products created from ABI images and other
  (e.g., numerical model output) sources

  Level 2 products include things like cloud top phase, cloud
  top height, cloud top pressure, and a number of others.

No, we currently only keep a "rolling" archive of the most recent
two weeks of GOES-16 ABI imagery and Level 2 products.

There is a full archive of GOES-16 ABI imagery on Amazon Web Services
(AWS).  Here is the first link shown for a Google search using 
'goes-16 archive in aws' as the search key:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/accessing-noaas-goes-r-series-satellite-weather-imagery-data-on-aws/

I do know know if a similar archive of GOES-16 Level 2 products exists.

re:
> Thanks

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
