Your're right about the times. I think the time at the top might be the time something was updated from the pass, wherever in the world that might be. Then if there has been data in the last nearly a day in that particular individual image, it is at the bottom. And usually for me, 9 times out of 10 probably, it is usually very out of date or there literally is nothing in the past day. But there is more opportunity now, from ASCAT (METOP-A), ASCAT (METOP-B) or RapidSCAT, so maybe there is better luck more often in getting a pass that gets it, rather than none or partial coverage when one does come over. (but I didn't seem to have luck on the few occasions I looked while it was 99L)

"The global wind images display the available data from the previous 22 hours up to the image creation time. Click here for the ocean surface winds from the near real-time (NRT) observation data."

At 7:14am EDT tomorrow GOES-14 SRSOR imagery might possibly be available again, somewhere. I'm not sure:

I'm not sure why it was out for the day, other than maybe they like to give it a rest. Maybe it will image somewhere else tomorrow, one of the many other storms, or maybe not operating. I don't see anything about them saying what might be next with it in any of the places I thought it could be.
