This feature doesn't work like it used to. NASA has implemented a new permanent security measure which prohibits sites from having their content inside an iframe. (An iframe allows content to be loaded within an existing page rather than in a new window) Rather than having this display load the satellite into the current page, we must now open a new window instead. Once you have both windows open you can still use this display to customize what you see in the new window containing NASA imagery. You can position them so that you can see them both at the same time, rather than having them open in separate tabs. Note: If you use a popup blocker you will need to disable it on this page.

Choose from the options above to customize a satellite view. This satellite imagery comes from the GOES satellite page of NASA's Global Hydrology and Climate Center. Our site uses their build your own images page to allow you to select the coordinates you want to view. Depending on the coordinates you enter, our page will determine the best satellite view to view data from. You can also manually override this feature. This satellite page works best for the North Atlantic Ocean and Eastern Pacific Ocean, using different views from the satellites GOES-East and GOES-West. Global composite imagery is no longer available. For some areas that lie near the edge of where tropical cyclones usually form or eventually dissipate, satellite images may appear distorted due to the angle the imagery is photographed from by the stationary satellite. During satellite eclipse periods, outages (General Satellite Messages page, GOES Operational Status page) or due to other issues, satellite imagery may be unavailable through this display. Visit NOAA's GOES Image Viewer for imagery if you experience any problems using this display.

You can also simply click the map below to view a satellite image of the area you click.
