11. Data Access

Geo2Grid software is designed with the direct broadcast community in mind as the target end user. However, the software can be used by anyone to create images from standard mission compliant input files. NOAA GOES ABI data is now freely available from Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and Microsoft Azure. More information about accessing data that is part of NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination Program can be found at this website:

And a very nice interface that allows direct downloads from the AWS can be found here:
