Limitations of Current GOES Imagers
Missing spectral bands
Low spatial resolution
Regional/Hemispheric scan conflicts
Eclipse and related outages
The ABI (Advanced Baseline Imager) is the next
generation operational geostationary imager.
The GOES-R/ABI era will begin in 2012.

ABI spatial coverage rate versus the current GOES Imager
ABI coverage in ~5 minutes

There are two anticipated scan modes for the ABI:
1) full disk images every 15 minutes + CONUS images every 5 minutes + mesoscale.
2) Full disk every 5 minutes.
Visible and near-IR channels on the ABI
AVIRIS spectra
The current GOES has only one visible band.
While there are differences, there are also many similarities for the spectral bands
on MET-8 and the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). Both the MET-8 and ABI
have many more bands than the current operational imagers.
Weighting Functions for the IR channels on the ABI
Weighting functions for the standard atmosphere at a local zenith angle of 40 degrees.

ABI “Natural Color” Image (from MODIS)
This represents a
“best case” for
generating an
“natural color” RedGreen-Blue”
composite image,
given the MODIS 550
nm data from this
image was used to
build the Look Up
Table (LUT) to
simulate the “green”
component from the
other spectral bands.
The HES-Coastal
Water will have a 550
nm band.

Mountain Waves in WV channel (6.7 µm)
7 April 2000, 1815 UTC
Simulated ABI
Actual GOES-8
Mountain waves over Colorado and New Mexico were induced by strong
northwesterly flow associated with a pair of upper-tropospheric jet streaks moving
across the elevated terrain of the southern and central Rocky Mountains. The
mountain waves appear more well-defined over Colorado; in fact, several aircraft
reported moderate to severe turbulence over that region.
Both images are shown in GOES projection.

Satellite-derived rainfall estimates
Satellite-derived precipitation estimates will be improved for GOES-R:
- higher spatial resolution (better depiction of cold cores)
- more frequent images (offers cell growth information)
- improved cloud height (with multiple bands and HES)
- new ABI bands (phase information, better cloud detection)
- better NEdT’s
- better navigation/registration

Radiances and Cloud Mask
This includes both the navigated, calibrated pixels, as well as
a clear-sky mask.
For example, MODIS uses 17 of the 36 MODIS bands to
identify the presence of clouds.
For the ABI: Potentially all bands would be used,
depending on the location and time of day.
Plus, both clear and cloudy radiances can be used for
Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) – along with a
host of products (winds, cloud-top information, snow
cover, etc.)

ABI
This simulated GOES-R ABI loop was created by morphing between two actual
GOES images. "Morphing" describes a broad category of digital image algorithms
used to create smooth, seamless transitions between two or more images.
MET-8
- The advanced multispectral geostationary
operational imager, Met8, can be used to prepare
for the ABI.
Improved products will be realized from combinations of
ABI and HES (Hyperspectral Environmental Suite) data
(IR and Visible/near IR on the HES-Coastal Water)!

Summary -- ABI
ABI addresses Imager concerns by:
• increasing spatial resolution
- closer to NWS goal of 0.5 km IR
• scanning faster
- temporal sampling improved
- more regions scanned
• adding bands
- new and/or improved products enabled
Simulations (from MODIS, AIRS, NAST-I, MSG and AVIRIS) show
that the ABI addresses needs for cloud, moisture, air quality and
surface products.
Every product from the current GOES imager will be improved!
Every band on the ABI will be used for a number of products.
ABI will allow exciting new products from geostationary orbit,
especially when combined with data from the HES.
