Images: Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI)

The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) is the primary instrument on the GOES-R Series spacecraft for imaging Earth’s weather, oceans, and environment. ABI views Earth with 16 different spectral bands (compared to five on previousu GOES), including two visible channels, four near-infrared channels, and ten infrared channels. ABI provides three times more spectral information, four times the spatial resolution, and more than five times faster coverage than the previous GOES imager.
