Comparision of GOES and GEOS-5
This animation compares data taken by several geostationary weather satellites, including the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES), and the Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 (GEOS-5). GEOS-5 is an assimilation model that starts from observations taken by satellites such as GOES and then builds a forecast for some days into the future. The period of time shown here is during February 2010 which brought record snowfall to the east coast of the United States.
The GOES data is presented above the GEOS-5 data for direct comparision.
