  15. "Normal people ... believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers/Scientists believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet."

  16. Advanced Baseline Imager on GOES-R • ABI addresses the NWS Imager concerns by: • - increasing the spatial resolutions • (the NWS goal is 0.5 km for the IR) • - improving temporal sampling • (faster scanning plus more regions scanned) • - adding spectral bands • (enables new and/or improved products) • A view into the future: simulations of improved cloud, moisture, and surface products with ABI.

  17. Simulated ABI (from MODIS)All images are displayed at 2 km resolutions Two visible bands, two near IR and eight IR bands (10.3 not shown)

  18. Simulated GOES (from MODIS)All images are displayed at 2 km resolutions One visible (at a higher resolution) band and four IR bands

  21. Advanced Baseline Sounder on GOES-R *Addresses NWS concerns by improving- temporal resolution: ‘sounding disk’ in 1 hour - vertical resolution 1 km for temp, 2 km for moisture - spatial resolution to 10 km for independent obs * Geo - Interferometer combines several advanced technologies - large focal plane detector arrays - Fourier Transform Spectrometry - on-board data processing. * ABS will provide moisture and cloud information as never before.

  22. Spatial Coverage Areas within 62 degrees local zenith angle from GOES-East and GOES-West sub-satellite points are indicated. Threshold coverage rate calls for the 62 arc region, excluding half of over-lap, to be scanned each hour. Current GOES -E and -W sounder hourly coverage is also shown. UW-Madison/CIMSS

  28. Summary The satellite remote sensing capability has had many positive consequences: • it has saved thousands of lives and millions of dollars from the ravages of storms; • it has made meteorological satellite data routinely available to nations around the globe; • in conjunction with improvements in numerical weather prediction, it has helped to improve forecast skill significantly; • and as valuable part of GOS it will help discern climate trends. NOAA is investigating the opportunities for further evolving the geostationary and polar orbiting remote sensing capabilities:

  29. Remote sensing of gradients in spectra, space, and time will be better than ever The business of looking down is looking up
