Currently, a Band 1 (“Blue” visible) fact sheet is available. Each sheet will also include links for more information.

Each fact sheet will cover what the band measures and how this is operationally relevant. These ABI Bands Quick Information Guides are designed as quick reference guides to provide National Weather Service forecasters with information on each of the GOES-R series Advanced Baseline Imager’s 16 spectral bands. October 22, 2014: A new series of fact sheets detailing each of the Advanced Baseline Imager channels is now under development. The instrument will be placed into storage until it is time to integrate it with the GOES-S satellite. The instrument successfully concluded its Pre-Shipment Review on October 21, 2014, at instrument developer Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, Colorado. October 22, 2014: The Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensors (EXIS) instrument that will fly on the GOES-S satellite is now complete.

Efforts to prepare the user community for GOES-R data continued with GOES-14 providing forecasters with special one-minute imagery in August. On the ground segment, the initial applications of the product generation system for the GOES-R series were installed and integrated.

With the delivery of the full suite of instruments, the successful mating of the spacecraft core and system modules, and the completion of key program reviews, the GOES-R satellite officially entered its integration and testing phase this quarter. October 24, 2014: The GOES-R Quarterly Newsletter for the time period July–September 2014 is now available. Anderson’s presentation, “GOES-R Series Flight Data System,” explained how data from the GOES-R spacecraft will be managed and the improved reliability the GOES-R on-board and space-to-ground communications will provide to reduce data errors and loss. October 31, 2014: The GOES-R Brown Bag Series Seminar on October 29, 2014, featured William Anderson (GOES-R Flight Project). November 17, 2014: The GRB Simulator Software Release Notes document has been revised to provide APID configuration updates. Slack’s presentation, “Advanced Baseline Imager Radiometric Calibration Methodology: Pre-Launch Calibration Activities and Flight Hardware, explained calibration of the ABI instrument and how calibration coefficients are updated to account for instrument changes over time. November 24, 2014: The GOES-R Brown Bag Series Seminar on November 19, 2014, featured Kim Slack (GOES-R Mission Operations Support Team). Finally, Pavolonis highlighted the positive feedback received from forecasters who have evaluated the Fog and Low Stratus products that have been made available through the Satellite Proving Ground. digital surface elevation maps, surface emissivity maps, and surface type maps) to determine the probability that Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions are present. The presentation also highlighted an approach that fuses satellite, Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) analyses, and other data sets (e.g. Pavolonis’ presentation, “Utilization of GOES-R and JPSS for Quantifying the Horizontal Extent of Hazardous Low Clouds,” explained how the effects of the weather hazard of low cloud ceiling and visibility and the importance to forecasters at the National Weather Service, Aviation Weather Center and Ocean Prediction Center. English | Spanishĭecember 11, 2014: The GOES-R Science Seminar on December 1, 2014, featured Mike Pavolonis (NOAA/NESDIS/STAR). The course includes imagery, graphics, photographs, video, audio narration and companion print versions. The course will also help prepare the learner for future exploration and use of GOES-R products in meteorological analysis and forecasting and in other disciplines that involve environmental monitoring and prediction. This course consists of three self-paced lessons, “GOES-R: Benefits of Next-Generation Environmental Monitoring,” ”GOES-R ABI: Next Generation Satellite Imaging,” and “GOES-R GLM: Introduction to the Geostationary Lightning Mapper,” that introduces forecasters, students, researchers and other interested learners to the capabilities, products and applications anticipated with the next-generation GOES-R satellites. December 17, 2014:The Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education and Training has announced the release of the GOES-R Satellites Orientation Distance Learning Course.
