GOES Ocean and Atmospheric Surveillance
The Earth Scan Lab receives atmospheric and infrared imagery of the Atlantic basin every thirty minutes from NOAA's GOES satellite. We generate a number of real-time atmospheric products consisting of different regions of interest to Louisiana, such as the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Tropics.GOES data is also used to produce night-time composite SST maps. Imagery for the Gulf of Mexico, Eastern Pacific, and tropical basin are available through our image archives.

The LSU Earth Scan Laboratory has served Louisiana and beyond as an operational satellite receiving station for the past 25 years. We have produced a calendar dedicated to our founder, Dr. Huh, containing some of our best work. It can be obtained at the LSU Foundation's ESL Support page. Your purchase will go to support the ESL's continued research of hurricanes and coastal management, and real-time monitoring of environmental events.
