Dear Satellite AOD data users,

The current NOAA operational GOES EAST/WEST satellites are GOES-16/GOES-17.

For real time GOES-16/17 Aerosol Optical Depth(AOD) data, please contact our data access manager at: PDA_GHS@noaa.gov

For archive GOES-16/17 AOD data, please go to our data archive center at:
https://www.avl.class.noaa.gov/saa/products/search?sub_id=0&datatype_family=GRABIPRD&submit.x=24&submit.y=9

For real-time GOES-16/17 AOD images, please go to:
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/spb/aq/AerosolWatch/ Please note that although GOES-16/17 makes observations every 5 minutes over CONUS,
we show the imagery only every 15 minutes. Future updates will show every 5 minutes.
