What Does GOES Stand For?
GOES stands for Geostationary Orbiting Environmental Satellite
GOES, or Geostationary Orbiting Environmental Satellite, refers to a series of weather satellites positioned in geostationary orbit to provide real-time data for atmospheric and environmental monitoring. These satellites play a critical role in weather forecasting, severe weather tracking, and environmental observation by continuously observing the same area of the Earth's surface. GOES satellites collect and transmit essential data on cloud cover, precipitation, temperature, and storm systems, contributing to improved public safety and climate research.
