- Abstract
The four Solar Ultraviolet Imagers (SUVI) on board the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)‐16 and GOES‐17 and the upcoming GOES‐T and GOES‐U weather satellites serve as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's operational solar coronal imagers. These four identically designed solar Extreme UltraViolet instruments are similar in design and capability to the Solar Dynamics Observatory‐Atmospheric Imaging Assembly suite of solar telescopes, and are planned to operationally span two solar cycles or more, from 2017 through 2040. We present the concept of operations for the SUVI instruments, operational requirements, and constraints. The reader is also introduced to the instrument design, testing, and performance characteristics. Finally, the various data products are described along with their potential utility to the operational user or researcher. Plain Language Summary: There are four Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) instruments, one manifested aboard each of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)‐R series of satellites. The first SUVI instrument aboard GOES‐16 began operations in 2017 and a second SUVI instrument on GOES‐17 in 2019. These are currently providing forecasters with near‐real time solar Extreme UltraViolet (EUV) observations. The GOES‐R mission plan (https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/s3/2022-01/GEO-Flyout-December-2021%5fsigned.pdf) has at least one SUVI instrument in operations until or beyond 2040. The SUVI data set will therefore span nearly two solar cycles with consistent solar EUV image observations. Key Points: There are four identically designed Solar UltraViolet Imager (SUVI) instruments hosted on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental satellitesEach SUVI instrument produces low‐latency, high‐dynamic‐range images of the corona with a relatively large field of viewThe four SUVI instruments will create an extended data of Extreme UltraViolet solar imagery spanning nearly two solar cycles
