Abstract
The observations from the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) are critical for monitoring a wide range of land, ocean, atmosphere, and space weather phenomena. With both earth-pointing and sun-pointing instruments, GOES monitors the Earth, the Sun, and the space environment. While the GOES are often referred to as “weather satellites,” they are truly environmental satellites. The GOES are also used as communications satellites, including search and rescue and data collection retransmission services.
