This page makes it easy to explore the GOES dataset on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and download files with the click of a mouse.
- Select the desired domain, product, date, and hour for which you want to download.
- The "source" option refers to where the data is downloaded from. AWS is Amazon's cloud. OCC is the Open Commons Consortium and has GOES files from the last 7-8 months. If you get an XML error when downloading from the Amazon source, try switching to OCC. Check the URL in bold below to confirm the source.
- Click the submit button.
- A blue box appears for every file that is available.
- The L1b Radiances and L2 Cloud and Moisture Imagery have separate files for each of the 16 bands.
- All other L2 products have a single file for each observation time.
- The number on the blue box represents the minute the scan started.
- Full disk scans are available every 15 minutes, CONUS scans are available every 5 minutes, and mesoscale scans are available every minute.
- Some L2 products are not available for all domains.
- Click the desired file and the download will begin.

For bulk and scripted downloads, consider using rclone, AWS CLI, Python's s3fs library, or NOAA CLASS.
Downloaded files are in NetCDF format. For example:
OR_ABI-L1b-RadM1-M3C01_G16_s20172511100550_e20172511101007_c20172511101048.nc
- OR - data is operational and in real-time
- ABI-L1b-RadM1- - is the product, with the mesoscale 1 domain. C is for CONUS, F is for full disk, and M2 is for Mesoscale 2.
- M3C01 - Mode is 3 and Channel is 01
- G16 - GOES-16 (G17 for GOES-17)
- s20172511100550 - scan start time sYYYYJJJHHMMSSm: year, day of year, hour, minute, second, tenth second
- e20172511101007 - scan end time sYYYYJJJHHMMSSm: year, day of year, hour, minute, second, tenth second
- c20172511101048 - scan file creation time sYYYYJJJHHMMSSm: year, day of year, hour, minute, second, tenth second
