GOES-East GeoColorFrame time unavailable
Daytime color / nighttime infrared composite · CIRA/NOAA · GOES-19
What the colors mean
GeoColor approximates natural color in daylight and uses infrared at night. City lights are a static background, not live observations.
What the time means
The frame time comes from the source product. Retrieval and rendering times do not replace the observation clock.
When imagery is missing
Masked or unavailable pixels are not clear skies. If a new check fails, the page keeps the last coherent frame and says that it is retained. The published schema defines these states.
