GOES Satellite Data - VISSR/VAS (GOES-7 and earlier)
Entry ID:
gov.noaa.class.PRE_GVAR
Summary
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series of satellites goal is to monitor the atmosphere for severe weather development such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms and hurricanes. The positioning of the GOES satellites at around 36,000 km (22,000 statute miles) above the equator at a fixed position above the earth allowed them to scan large geographic regions ...
 Purpose: PURPOSE: To measure radiant and solar reflected energy for use in monitoring weather patterns. The VISSR and VAS were designed to provide rapid continuous viewing of local areas for regional Earth and atmospheric monitoring.

Access Constraints
Following the NASA Earth Science Data and Information Policy, all SeaBASS data
are publicly available for research and educational use. Registration is required, but only as a means for the Administrators to contact data users (in the event of updates to datasets, for example). Data collected prior to 1 January 2000 have been released to the NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center and are available via http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/accession/0000632 .
Use Constraints
SeaBASS data are for research and educational use only, and are not to be
redistributed. All researchers incorporating SeaBASS data into their research are expected to acknowledge NASA, SeaBASS, and the original data contributor(s). Users of data are encouraged to discuss relevant findings with the data provider(s) early in their research. Users are required to give all data provider(s) a copy of any manuscript resulting from use of their data prior to the initial submission for publication, thus giving the data provider(s) an opportunity to comment on the paper. For three years following data collection, the data provider(s) shall have the right to be named as co-author(s). Ancillary Keywords
