GOES-N is the latest in a series of Earth monitoring
satellites. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES)
provide the kind of continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data
analysis. Geostationary describes an orbit in which a satellite is
always in the same position with respect to the rotating Earth. This
allows GOES to hover continuously over one position on the Earth's
surface, appearing stationary. As a result, GOES provide a constant
vigil for the atmospheric "triggers" for severe weather conditions
such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms, and hurricanes
