2. Overview Dedicated GOES10/12 to South America GOES 13 images to South America New Products being developed for GOES-R  Inner cloud top dynamics  Lightning and Thunderstorm severity  Multichannel cloud classification  Cloud Tracking and nowcasting – ForTracc  Surface radiation

3. Dedicated GOES10/12 to South America GOES - 10 and 12 were allocated by NOAA nearby 60W to serve South America. This allows South America to have, for the first time images each 15 minutes. GOES-10 and 12 have improved significantly satellite detection of severe weather, vegetation fire, atmospheric motion vector, solar radiation, cloud classification and rainfall over South America. The satellite derived products were employed operatio nally to monitor drought for agriculture and forest fire and also to nowcast thunders torm and severe weather for flash flood warning. INPE Developed a set of products for South America using Goes-South America

17. Summary New era in satellite meteorology will start with GOES-R The Region needs to be prepared to fully explore this great potential Several products and researches are being developed that can be useful to the program Regional products, product validation and high resolution sectors or products can prepared to reach the needs of the Region through a cooperation between NOAA and regional partner

18. Thank you GOES-R will change the Meteorology in South America
