INFRARED GLOBAL GEOSTATIONARY COMPOSITE V1

Published by NASA/MSFC/GHRC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: September 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-11

The Infrared Global Geostationary Composite dataset contains global composite images from the infrared channels of multiple weather satellites in geosynchronous orbit. These satellites include the Global Mobility Service (GMS) from Japan, the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) from the United States, NOAA satellites, and the Meteorological Satellite (METEOSAT) from Europe spanning nearly the entire globe. The spatial resolution is 14 km before December 18, 2017, and 4 km after that with the data remapped into a Mercator projection. The data have not necessarily been cross-calibrated between sensors. The data are available in AREA McIDAS format from June 4, 1995, to January 24, 2024, and netCDF-4 format from January 25, 2024, to present.
