Data are available in Blob Storage in the West Europe Azure data center1, in both NetCDF and cloud-optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format.

NetCDF files (one file per scene) are available in the following containers, for GOES-16, GOES-17, and GOES-18 respectively:

https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes16
https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes17
https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes18

COG files (one file per band) are available in the following folders, for GOES-16, GOES-17, and GOES-18 respectively:

https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes-cogs/goes-16/
https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes-cogs/goes-17/
https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes-cogs/goes-18/

Within any of the above, data are named as:

[product]/[year]/[day]/[hour]/[filename]

  • product is a product name, see the storage resources page for a list of available products
  • year is a four-digit year
  • day is a three-digit day-of-year code, starting with 001
  • hour is a two-digit hour-of-day code, starting with 00
  • filename encodes the product, date, and time; details are available in the GOES Users' Guide

For example, this file:

https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes16/ABI-L2-MCMIPF/2020/003/00/OR_ABI-L2-MCMIPF-M6_G16_s20200030000215_e20200030009534_c20200030010031.nc

...contains data from January 3, 2020, between midnight and 1am UTC (hour 00).

This is the prefix for the same scene in COG format:

https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes16/ABI-L2-MCMIPF/2020/003/00/OR_ABI-L2-MCMIPF-M6_G16_s20200030000215_e20200030009534_c20200030010031

...and this is the COG file representing the first band from that scene:

https://goeseuwest.blob.core.windows.net/noaa-goes16/ABI-L2-MCMIPF/2020/003/00/OR_ABI-L2-MCMIPF-M6_G16_s20200030000215_e20200030009534_c20200030010031_CMI_C01.tif

Data channels and wavelengths are described here.

Large-scale processing using this dataset is best performed in the West Europe Azure data center, where the data is stored.

Snow and Ice data

The following Snow and Ice products are available in Azure Blob Storage:

  • Snow Cover:
    • ABI-L2-FSCC (CONUS)
    • ABI-L2-FSCF (Full Disk)
    • ABI-L2-FSCM (Mesoscale)
  • Ice Concentration:
    • ABI-L2-AICEF (Full Disk)
  • Ice Thickness:
    • ABI-L2-AITAF (Full Disk)

See the example notebook for more.

East US subset

1The following products are also available in the East US Azure data center, in NetCDF format:

  • GOES-16 ABI-L1b-RadF
  • GOES-16 ABI-L2-MCMIPF
  • GOES-16 and GOES-17 GLM-L2-LCFA

Storage containers for this subset are as follows:
