GOES-R The great amount of information from the GOES-R series will both offer a continuation of current product and services, but also allow for improved or new capabilities. These products, based on validated requirements, will cover a wide range of phenomena. This includes applications relating to: weather, ocean, coastal zones, land, hazards, solar and space. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), the Hyperspectral Environmental Suite (HES), the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), the space and solar instrument suites (Solar Imaging Suite (SIS) and the Space Environment In-Situ Suite (SEISS) on GOES-R will enable much improved monitoring compared to current capabilities.
ABI Summary There has been a good start simulating the ABI bands from aircraft and other satellites. More work needs to be done. Especially in the simulation of the visible bands. When an ABI simulation is referred to, note which attribute (spatial, spectral, temporal, etc. ) is needed/simulated. To allow for quicker comparisons, everyone should use the same “mock” ABI spectral response functions. These are available via ftp and already are in PFAAST or OPTRAN fast models.
