Notice: As of 4:26 p.m. EDT,
the GOES-16 ABI Imager (GOES-East) is offline due to a reported thermal anomaly.
No GOES-East images will be updated while the satellite is offline.
As soon as data flow is restored, we will begin processing images and update the site.
GOES-West continues to operate normally.

10.3 µm - "Clean" Longwave IR Window Band - 2 km resolution - Band 13 at 10.3 µm is an infrared window, meaning it is not strongly affected by atmospheric water vapor. This channel is useful for detecting clouds all times of day and night and is particularly useful in retrievals of cloud top height.
GOES-16 Band 13 corresponds approximately to the old GOES-13 IR cloud channel.
