1. Sample GOES-O T/V test data
Data used only for verifying the new GVAR format (to support the improved band 6, 13.3 um FOV size) and to test ingestors, not the quality of GOES-O data (e.g., data not calibrated)
Data from the SPS and McIDAS have different enhancements applied and the sub-sampling of the data displayed.

SPS = Sensor Processing Subsystem T/V= thermal Vacuum

2. SW Window -- Data from SPS

3. SW Window -- Data via SSEC McIDAS Updated Ingestor

4. “Water vapor” band -- Data from SPS

5. “Water vapor” band -- Data via SSEC McIDAS Updated Ingestor

6. IR window -- Data from SPS

7. IR window -- Data via SSEC McIDAS Updated Ingestor

8. CO2 band -- Data from SPS

9. CO2 band -- Data via SSEC McIDAS Updated Ingestor

10. IR window -- High Magnification -- Data from SPS

11. CO2 band -- High Magnification -- Data from SPS (Note same IGFOV size as band 4)

12. IR window -- Data via SSEC McIDAS Updated Ingestor

13. CO2 band -- Data via SSEC McIDAS Updated Ingestor
(Note same IGFOV size as band 4)

14. Improved Spatial Resolution of the 13.3 um on the GOES-O Imager

15. Poorer Spatial Resolution of the 13.3 um on the GOES-12/13 Imagers
