GOES-16, (Now Operational GOES-East)
A brief description of geostationary satellites and improvements from the GOES-R (GOES-16) satellite is given. This is intended as an introduction for interested researchers who may wish to use some of the new products now available. The instruments and their most notable improvements are discussed, along with some new products and training resources for using the GOES-R series satellite data.

Dr. Thomas M. Smith
Physical Scientist at Satellite Applications and Research/NOAA and CICS/ESSIC/University of Maryland
Dr. Thomas M. Smith pursued his undergraduate degree in mathematics and MS in meteorology, both from Rutgers University. Dr. Smith has a PhD in oceanography from University of Delaware. Dr. Smith spend the summer of 1985 at NASA/GISS doing research for his MS and also was UCAR post-doctoral fellow at NOAA/CPC (1990-91) and then was hired by NOAA/CPC 1991. Transferred to NOAA/NESDIS in 2000, first at NCEI and then at star since 2007. Dr. Thomas Smith work has mostly involved data analysis, including model-output and observations, for better understanding large-scale climate variations. Some analyses contributed to have also been used to help weather and climate prediction.
