        abstract:  The National Centers for Environmental Information in partnership with the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites - North Carolina is reprocessing the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) Variable (GVAR) period of record: 1994-2015. GridSat GOES represents a reformatted, remapped and calibrated GOES brightness temperatures and reflectance provided in Climate and Forecasting (CF)-compliant netCDF format. This is similar to the current GridSat-B1 CDR, but at a higher spatial and temporal resolution. The data are provided near the original spatial resolution of the infrared channels (4 km) on an equal angle grid (0.04 degrees). Data are mapped to a region spanning the view of GOES East and West (150 deg East to 5 deg East). The data are provided hourly, with all data mapping to the nearest hour. Currently, the data are limited to variables including the observations from the GOES satellites: 5 total channels. However, future efforts are planned to include some basic cloud information (cloud probability, temperature, etc.). Other possible updates include: improved coverage by expanding the GOES inventory (currently, gaps exist in the CLASS archive) and expand to the predecessor to the GOES Imager: GOES VISSR, which would expand coverage back to the 1980s.
        purpose:  This dataset is meant to provide access to GOES data to a wider community of users than the original GOES data. GOES GVAR has traditionally been available from CLASS as AREA files, which requires significant knowledge and expertise to use the data. GridSat GOES reformats and calibrates the data in order to simplify access.

                rationale:  This is the only step in the processing. The routine reads the GOES data file (obtained from NOAA CLASS). Based on the observation time, the appropriate GridSat time is selected and data are stored if they are the closest observation to the optimal grid time (hourly for GOES and 15-min for CONUS).

            measureDescription:  The Data Stewardship Maturity Matrix (DSMM) is a unified framework that defines criteria for each of nine components based on measurable practices, which can be used to apply a progressive, 6-level rating to an individual dataset, representing stewardship maturity stages rated as Not Assessed or Not Available (Level 0), adHoc (Level 1), minimum (Level 2), intermediate (Level 3), advanced (Level 4), and optimal (Level 5).
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment was evaluated by the metadata content editor for the NOAA OneStop project using the Scientific Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment Model Template v4.0.
