Geostationary satellites can continuously track the development of severe weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods, and hailstorms. Although we are unable to determine the storm's speed or direction of movement with the help of satellite imagery.
The Imager and the Sounder are the GOES spacecraft' two main instruments. They're both passive sensors. From the Earth's surface and atmosphere, the Imager gathers radiant energy and solar energy that has been reflected. Surface and cloud top temperatures, ozone distribution, and the vertical temperature and moisture profile of the atmosphere are all determined using data from the Sounder. With resolutions ranging from 1 to 8 km, the Imager can scan an area of the Earth's surface of 3,000 km by 3,000 km in roughly 41 seconds. Every 30 minutes, the GOES satellite is capable of taking comprehensive images of specific locations in its usual operational mode. However, GOES collects imagery every eight minutes while in rapid-scan mode (with the capability to capture imagery every 1 minute).
