GeoColor: GOES East

Geocolor is a multispectral product composed of True Color (using a simulated green component) during the daytime, and an Infrared product that uses bands 7 and 13 at night. During the day, the imagery looks approximately as it would appear when viewed with human eyes from space. At night, the blue colors represent liquid water clouds such as fog and stratus, while gray to white indicate higher ice clouds, and the city lights come from a static database that was derived from the VIIRS Day Night Band.

Infrared: GOES West

This image is take in the infrared band of light and show relative warmth of object . cold objects is are are bright and warm object are dark . low layer of cloud , generally warm and low in altitude , are color gray . cold and generally high cloud top are highlight in color . infrared imagery is is is useful for determine cloud feature both at day and night .

Water Vapor: West

This image is taken using a wavelength sensitive to the content of water vapor in the atmosphere. Bright and colored areas indicate high water vapor (moisture) content (colored and white areas indicate the presence of both high moisture content and/or ice crystals). Black and brown areas indicate little or no moisture present. Water vapor imagery is useful for both determining locations of moisture and atmospheric circulations.

Water Vapor: GOES East

This image is taken using a wavelength sensitive to the content of water vapor in the atmosphere. White and and cool-colored areas indicate high water vapor (moisture) content (green areas indicate the presence of both high moisture content and/or ice crystals). Red and yellow areas indicate little or no moisture present. Water vapor imagery is useful for both determining locations of moisture and atmospheric circulations.
