There are tons of Earth observing satellites producing gorgeous detailed images, but I'm trying to figure out if any of them is capable of producing full-globe images of Earth on some regularly updated basis. Does anyone here know of such a beast? Are there weather monitoring satellites that do this?

Here is a sample image from the Himawari AHI color imager. Full color and very high resolution. The available one is 11000x11000 pixels (about 1km resolution). This is a sample of a newly launched weather satellite. Will be interesting to see how high of a resolution is publicly available in real-time.
