NESDIS News:

"It’s mid-April 2017 and the GOES-16 Field Campaign, a two-month-long effort to calibrate and validate the earth
viewing instruments on NOAA’s GOES-16 satellite, has officially entered its second phase. 
For the last month a team of instrument scientists, meteorologists, and specialized pilots have used a high-altitude
plane, ground-based sensors, and satellites to collect and compare measurements from across the United States.
With life-saving warnings and revolutionary weather data on the line, it is imperative that this campaign succeeds.
NOAA’s newest and most advanced weather satellite must be as accurate as possible."
