Conference Presentations and Third GOES-R Users Conference Report (ftp site)
The Third GOES Users' Conference by the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration was held in Boulder, Colorado, May 10-13, 2004.
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, or GOES-R, to be launched in
2012, will provide critical atmospheric, oceanic, climatic, solar and space data.
The satellite will house an advanced imager, hyperspectral suite (including
atmospheric sounding and coastal waters capabilities), lightning mapper, solar imager
and space environment monitor.
GOES satellites are a mainstay of weather and space weather forecasting, and ocean and
climate monitoring in the United States. The third generation of GOES will provide new
data unlike anything seen before in the history of Earth observations. This new GOES,
planned for launch in 2012, will scan the Earth nearly five times faster than the
current GOES. The satellites will provide the user community (television meteorologists,
private weather companies, the aviation and agriculture communities, and national and
international government agencies) with about one hundred times the amount of data
currently provided.
The focus of the conference will be to help users prepare to acquire, digest and use
GOES-R data and to assist with the advanced planning of requirements, products,
communications, and distribution of data. The conference will consist of speaker
presentations, poster sessions, and facilitated breakout sessions.
Over 60 poster papers focusing on GOES-R potential applications, GOES-R as part of the
Global Observing System and the smooth transition to GOES-R were offered. To review

The conference is sponsored by NOAA, with the support and cooperation of the American
Meteorological Society, the Marine Technology Society, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National
Weather Association, and the World Meteorological Organization.
NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NOAA Satellite
and Information Services) is the nation’s primary source of space-based
meteorological and climate data. NOAA Satellite and Information
Services operates the nation's
environmental satellites, which are used for weather forecasting,
climate monitoring and other environmental applications such
as fire detection, ozone monitoring and sea
surface temperature measurements.
