*Abstract*

	

The 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.  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.
