GOES Weather Satellite Launched

Launch from the pad
NOAA has two operational GOES satellites hovering 22,300 miles above the equator – GOES-12, in the east, and GOES-11, in the west – each provide continuous observations of environmental conditions of North, Central and South America and surrounding oceans. While these two are operational, another GOES satellite, GOES-13, is in orbital storage and can be activated if one of the other satellites experiences trouble.
With the launch of the latest GOES satellite, NOAA will have another backup. Approximately 24 days after launch, Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems will turn engineering control over to NASA. About five months later, NASA will transfer operational control of GOES-14 to NOAA. The satellite will be checked out, stored in orbit and available for activation should one of the operational GOES satellites degrade or exhaust its fuel.

High pressure coming soon
by Richard Foreman on Jun.22, 2009, under Observations

Cumulus Cloud coverage
Over the weekend we had temperatures in the upper 90’s with heat index around 105. Temperatures are about the same for the start of the week, and will increase as it goes on. As the high pressure system pushes into the area the temperatures will increase and the rain chances will decrease. This is good in a way, because we will be conducting a field exercise over the weekend and could really do without the rain. Other than that there is nothing major I see weather wise coming into the area anytime soon.
