GOES-R Series Level 1b Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) Product in FITS Format

The Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) Level 1b Solar Imagery: X-Ray product contains an image of the Sun at one of six wavelengths with different exposure times, and metadata required for exploitation and higher level processing. This product also contains an array containing a quality flag for each pixel in the solar image.

Files for Sept. 2017 are test files produced by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information in Boulder, Colorado. The currently available data are processed from Level-0 SUVI files in Boulder, and are not necessarily representative of what data SUVI users will encounter in GOES-R Rebroadcast (GRB) produced by the GOES-R Ground Segment. The file metadata are populated with as much information as possible for users to interpret these observations, but some fields may be missing. Users requiring assistance with these files can contact the NCEI SUVI team by emailing [e-mail].
