next generation geostationary satellite series will
offer a continuation of current products and services
and enable improved and new capabilities. The Advanced
Baseline Imager (ABI) on the Geostationary Operational
Environmental Satellites (GOES)-R series will monitor a
wide range of phenomena. As with the current GOES
Imager, the ABI will be used for weather, oceanographic,
climate, and environmental applications.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The ABI will
improve upon the current GOES Imager with more spectral
bands, faster imaging, higher spatial resolution, better
navigation, and more accurate calibration. The ABI
expands from five spectral bands on the current GOES
imagers to a total of 16 spectral bands in the visible
(2), near-infrared (4) and infrared (10) spectral
regions. There will be an increase of the coverage rate
leading to full disk scans at least every 15 minutes and
continental US (CONUS) scans every 5 minutes. These
improvements will greatly assist a host of data
assimilation and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)
applications, especially on the regional and meso-scales
via both direct assimilation and in-direct validations.<span
