GOES-16, GOES-17 and GOES-18 Data Status: L1b data are available for most instruments. Some L2 data are available.
GOES-R L2 data will be available on a rolling basis as products reach maturity. The L2 time series data are aggregated into daily and longer netCDF files, while the SUVI
files are in FITS format.
Real-time JSON files with partial data products for some GOES-R instruments are available from SWPC.
Consult the ReadMe files below before using the data.

Links to L1b data directories are available for most of the GOES-R space weather instruments. Consult the ReadMe files below before using the data. Time-series L1b data are provided in daily or longer netCDF files. SUVI L1b images are in FITS format. Granular L1b netCDF files, each containing from 3 seconds to 5 minutes of data depending on the product, are provided via

SUVI Atmospheric Density Data
Prototype thermospheric neutral density (O and N2) and neutral temperature profiles, from ~180 to 500 km, derived from SUVI solar occultations during GOES-16 and GOES-18 eclipse seasons. Data are available from the GOES-16 fall 2018 eclipse season (starting August 2018) through the most recent solar eclipse measurements on GOES-16 and GOES-18. Please note these data products are still in a prototype stage.
Access: GOES-16 data, GOES-18 Data and the ReadMe.
SUVI Extended Coronal Imaging Data
Mosaic images of the extended solar corona from GOES-17 SUVI special observing campaigns are available for August-September 2018, August-December 2019, and April 2021. GOES-18 data
is now also available for July-September 2022.
Access: GOES-17 Data, GOES-18 Data and the ReadMe.
Geomagnetic Storms
2017-05-27 to 2017-05-28: A geomagnetic storm created various types of Ultra-low Frequency (ULF) waves in the magnetosphere. These waves were observed in space and on the ground, and the
GOES-14 and
GOES-16 magnetometer data are provided in order to
compare to ground-based measurements and models of ULF waves during the event. Data were created as part of the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) ULF Wave Modeling, Effects, and
Applications (UMEA) Challenge. See the
ReadMe for caveats associated with these data.
Solar Flares
September 2017: The GOES-16 Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) captured images of a series of flares in Sept. 2017. At this time, the instrument was still in Beta status. NCEI reprocessed Level 0 data to create Level 1b images. These files are organized by SUVI wavelength, for instance
Fe195 images. See the
ReadMe for caveats associated with these data.
L2 composites were also generated for this solar flare event. These L2 data are provisional and will be replaced in the future.

The GOES XRS science quality data have been reprocessed to update calibrations, fill gaps and to revise algorithms. Data provided include daily, monthly and mission-length files, as well as plots.
The GOES MAG data are reprocessed high-resolution versions of the operational GOES 8-15 MAG data that had not been previously made available at full resolution (2 Hz). The data were converted into GOES-R NetCDF and include daily files and plots.
