      <Description>The GOES longitudinal location information consists of the west geographic longitude in degrees. The data are separated into spacecraft (GOES 2-12), year, and month. The location is given for each day of the month is in units of degrees and the geographic latitude is assumed to be 0&#xAF;.</Description>

    <Caveats>The flag for bad data is 0.0. The Geographic latitude for each spacecraft is assumed to be 0&#xB0;. The spacecraft are kept within a few tenths of a degree of 0&#xB0; latitude. However, there can be times when the spacecraft can reach several degrees inclination. The user is recommended to check with one of the online resources that calculate satellite inclination and longitude from two line orbital elements.</Caveats>
