Re: New place for Floaters and more
GOES-17 is now available on SLIDER.

Luckily, I have both those color scales, and I am actually planning on getting satellite views with the color scales to be generated automatically and released for anybody to access

They appear to use GOES-13, but glad they're back

The ultimate would be if they released that same set of enhanced IR products but with GOES-16 or 17.

I think they're GOES-16 actually. You can tell because the interval on the images is 15 minutes. The old generation of GOES didn't do that for floaters.

If they're GOES-16, shouldn't they be 5-minute intervals, and with better resolution? That's really what I want, as @SconnieCane said, the old product with the new data.
Thanks to all of you for the responses.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the SSD site has that 5-minute interval, but part of the reason is that GOES-16 only takes pictures every 5-minutes for the United States (also known as the 'CONUS sector'), while it takes a full disk image every 15 minutes so it would be more reliable to stick with the global 15 minute interval. I think TropicalTidbits detects when a storm moves into the CONUS sector and switches then, but I don't think SSD does that.

Re: New place for Floaters and more
The SSD floaters seem to have stopped working for this current Atlantic batch.

Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

This is the part that I don't get, they came back (fully, we had Epac, Cpac, Wpac, etc. before) including the Atlantic ones in 15 min intervals and then all of a sudden now there's nothing for any basin...even more frustrating is there is no explanation for it and it was gone during the historic hurricane Florida just had. Even the main URL site "http://ssd.noaa.gov/" doesn't work. Progress!

Your site is great, simple and straightforward with no nonsense. With the floaters for the Atlantic (in the old format) still nowhere to be found yours covers the gap (obviously though the old floater set ought to be there again at some point). I wasn't able to control the speed of loops though.
Its unbelievable that this long after the start of GOES-16 there are few pages to get good static or low resource web pages of floaters for Atlantic systems. My interest in the tropics was already essentially gone before all the floaters got messed up!
