GOESEastAnimate

Animates one day of GOES-East satellite imagery

ResourceFunction["GOESEastAnimate"][assoc]

creates an animation of GOES-East imagery for a given day and band.

Details and Options

Bands must specified with “Band” and run from 1 to 16
Additionally, “Band” can be specified with “GEOCOLOR” which results in a true color animation.
Dates must be specified with “Date” with DateObject.
Image size must be specified with “Size” and should be one of: Small, Medium, Large.

Examples

Basic Examples

Create an animation of GOES-East imagery of yesterday with the mid-level water vapor band (9):

In[1]:=
ResourceFunction[ "https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/arnoudb/DeployedResources/\ Function/GOESEastAnimate"][<|"Date" -> Yesterday, "Band" -> 9, "Size" -> Small|>]
Out[1]=

Create a true color animation:

In[2]:=
ResourceFunction[ "https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/arnoudb/DeployedResources/\ Function/GOESEastAnimate"][<|"Date" -> Yesterday, "Band" -> "GEOCOLOR", "Size" -> Small|>]
Out[2]=

Possible Issues

Incomplete days (e.g. Today) will produce incomplete animations:

ResourceFunction[ "https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/arnoudb/DeployedResources/\ Function/GOESEastAnimate"][<|"Date" -> Today, "Band" -> 11, "Size" -> Medium|>]
