- Fractional Snow Cover
ID: snow-fraction
Global daily maps of snow fraction are produced from VIIRS data. At this time information on the presence/absence of snow in
every VIIRS pixel (i.e., binary snow mask) is obtained from the IDPS Binary Snow Map product. Snow fraction is derived with a new
(NDE) algorithm which estimates the area fraction of the pixel covered with snow. Within the NDE reflectance-based snow fraction
algorithm the snow fraction is inferred from the the observed reflectance in the VIIRS visible band (I1). Snow fraction is assumed
linearly related to the visible reflectance of the pixel.
The NDE snow fraction approach is different from the one in the current IDPS algorithm where snow fraction is estimated through
aggregation of the VIIRS binary snow map within 2x2 pixel blocks.

- GOES East ABI ConUS B01 "Blue" Visible
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND01
The 0.47 µm, or “Blue” visible band, is one of
two visible bands on the ABI, and provides data
for monitoring aerosols. Included on NASA’s
MODIS and Suomi NPP VIIRS instruments, this
band provides well-established benefits. The
geostationary ABI 0.47 µm band will provide
nearly continuous daytime observations of
dust, haze, smoke and clouds. The 0.47 µm
band is more sensitive to aerosols / dust /
smoke because it samples a part of the
electromagnetic spectrum where clear-sky
atmospheric scattering is important
- GOES East ABI ConUS B02 Hi-Res "Red" Visible
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND02
The ‘Red’ Visible band – 0.64 µm – has the
finest spatial resolution (0.5 km at the subsatellite
point) of all ABI bands. Thus it is ideal
to identify small-scale features such as river
fogs and fog/clear air boundaries, or
overshooting tops or cumulus clouds. It has
also been used to document daytime snow
and ice cover, diagnose low-level cloud-drift
winds, assist with detection of volcanic ash
and analysis of hurricanes and winter storms.
The ‘Red’ Visible band is also essential for
creation of “true color” imagery.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B03 "Veggie"
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND03
The 0.86 μm band (a reflective band) detects daytime clouds, fog, and aerosols and is used to compute the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Its nickname is the “veggie” or “vegetation” band. The 0.86 μm band can detect burn scars and thereby show land characteristics to determine fire and run-off potential. Vegetated land, in general, shows up brighter in this band than in visible bands. Landwater contrast is also large in this band.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B04 Cirrus
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND04
The Cirrus Band (1.37 µm) is unique among
the reflective bands on the ABI in that it
occupies a region of very strong absorption by
water vapor in the electromagnetic spectrum.
It will detect very thin cirrus clouds during the
day.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B05 Snow/Ice
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND05
The Snow/Ice band takes advantage of the
difference between the refraction components
of water and ice at 1.61 µm. Liquid water
clouds are bright in this channel; ice clouds are
darker because ice absorbs (rather than
reflects) radiation at 1.61 µm. Thus you can
infer cloud phase. Fires can also be detected
at night using this band.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B06 Cloud Particle Size
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND06
The 2.24 μm band, in conjunction with other
bands, enables cloud particle size estimation.
Cloud particle size changes can indicate cloud
development. The 2.24 μm band is also used
with other bands to estimate aerosol particle
size (by characterizing the aerosol-free
background over land), to create cloud
masking and to detect hot spots.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B07 "Fire"
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND07
The 3.9 μm band can be used to identify fog
and low clouds at night, identify fire hot spots,
detect volcanic ash, estimate sea-surface
temperatures, and discriminate between ice
crystal sizes during the day. Low-level
atmospheric vector winds can be estimated
with this band, and the band can be used to
study urban heat islands. The 3.9 μm is unique
among ABI bands because it senses both
emitted terrestrial radiation as well as
significant reflected solar radiation during the
day.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B07 "Fire" enhanced
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND07-FIRE
The 3.9 μm band can be used to identify fog
and low clouds at night, identify fire hot spots,
detect volcanic ash, estimate sea-surface
temperatures, and discriminate between ice
crystal sizes during the day. Low-level
atmospheric vector winds can be estimated
with this band, and the band can be used to
study urban heat islands. The 3.9 μm is unique
among ABI bands because it senses both
emitted terrestrial radiation as well as
significant reflected solar radiation during the
day.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B07 "Fire" stretch
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND07D
The 3.9 μm band can be used to identify fog
and low clouds at night, identify fire hot spots,
detect volcanic ash, estimate sea-surface
temperatures, and discriminate between ice
crystal sizes during the day. Low-level
atmospheric vector winds can be estimated
with this band, and the band can be used to
study urban heat islands. The 3.9 μm is unique
among ABI bands because it senses both
emitted terrestrial radiation as well as
significant reflected solar radiation during the
day.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B08 Upper-level Water Vapor
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND08
The 6.2 µm “Upper-level water vapor” band is
one of three water vapor bands on the ABI, and
is used for tracking upper-tropospheric winds,
identifying jet streams, forecasting hurricane
track and mid-latitude storm motion, monitoring
severe weather potential, estimating upper/
mid-level moisture (for legacy vertical moisture
profiles) and identifying regions where the
potential for turbulence exists. Further, it can be
used to validate numerical model initialization
and warming/cooling with time can reveal
vertical motions at mid- and upper levels.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B08 Upper-level Water Vapor enhanced
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND08-VAPR
The 6.2 µm “Upper-level water vapor” band is
one of three water vapor bands on the ABI, and
is used for tracking upper-tropospheric winds,
identifying jet streams, forecasting hurricane
track and mid-latitude storm motion, monitoring
severe weather potential, estimating upper/
mid-level moisture (for legacy vertical moisture
profiles) and identifying regions where the
potential for turbulence exists. Further, it can be
used to validate numerical model initialization
and warming/cooling with time can reveal
vertical motions at mid- and upper levels.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B09 Mid-level Water Vapor
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND09
The 6.9 µm “Mid-level water vapor” band is one
of three water vapor bands on the ABI, and is
used for tracking middle-tropospheric winds,
identifying jet streams, forecasting hurricane
track and mid-latitude storm motion, monitoring
severe weather potential, estimating mid-level
moisture (for legacy vertical moisture profiles)
and identifying regions where turbulence might
exist. Surface features are usually not apparent
in this band. Brightness Temperatures show
cooling because of absorption of energy at 6.9
µm by water vapor.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B09 Mid-level Water Vapor enhanced
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND09-VAPR
The 6.9 µm “Mid-level water vapor” band is one
of three water vapor bands on the ABI, and is
used for tracking middle-tropospheric winds,
identifying jet streams, forecasting hurricane
track and mid-latitude storm motion, monitoring
severe weather potential, estimating mid-level
moisture (for legacy vertical moisture profiles)
and identifying regions where turbulence might
exist. Surface features are usually not apparent
in this band. Brightness Temperatures show
cooling because of absorption of energy at 6.9
µm by water vapor.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B10 Lower-level Water Vapor
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND10
The 7.3 µm “Lower-level water vapor” band is
one of three water vapor bands on the ABI. It
typically senses farthest down into the midtroposphere
in cloud-free regions, to around
500-750 hPa. It is used to track lowertropospheric
winds, identify jet streaks, monitor
severe weather potential, estimate lower-level
moisture (for legacy vertical moisture profiles),
identify regions where the potential for
turbulence exists, highlight volcanic plumes that
are rich in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and track LakeEffect
snow bands.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B10 Lower-level Water Vapor enhanced
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND10-VAPR
The 7.3 µm “Lower-level water vapor” band is
one of three water vapor bands on the ABI. It
typically senses farthest down into the midtroposphere
in cloud-free regions, to around
500-750 hPa. It is used to track lowertropospheric
winds, identify jet streaks, monitor
severe weather potential, estimate lower-level
moisture (for legacy vertical moisture profiles),
identify regions where the potential for
turbulence exists, highlight volcanic plumes that
are rich in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and track LakeEffect
snow bands.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B11 Cloud Phase
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND11
The infrared 8.5 μm band is a window channel;
there is little atmospheric absorption of
energy in clear skies at this wavelength (unless
SO2 from a volcanic eruption is present).
However, knowledge of emissivity is important
in the interpretation of this Band: Differences
in surface emissivity at 8.5 μm occur over
different soil types, affecting the perceived
brightness temperature. Water droplets also
have different emissivity properties for 8.5 μm
radiation compared to other wavelengths. The
8.5 μm band was not available on either the
Legacy GOES Imager or GOES Sounder.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B12 Ozone
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND12
The 9.6 μm band gives information both
day and night about the dynamics of
the atmosphere near the tropopause.
This band shows cooler temperatures
than the clean window band because
both ozone and water vapor absorb 9.6
μm atmospheric energy. The cooling
effect is especially apparent at large
zenith angles. This band alone cannot
diagnose total column ozone: product
generation using other bands will be
necessary for that.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B13 "Clean" Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND13
The 10.3 μm “clean” infrared window band is
less sensitive than other infrared window bands
to water vapor absorption, and therefore
improves atmospheric moisture corrections, aids
in cloud and other atmospheric feature
identification/classification, estimation of cloudtop
brightness temperature and cloud particle
size, and surface property characterization in
derived products.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B13 "Clean" Infrared enhanced
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND13-GRAD
The 10.3 μm “clean” infrared window band is
less sensitive than other infrared window bands
to water vapor absorption, and therefore
improves atmospheric moisture corrections, aids
in cloud and other atmospheric feature
identification/classification, estimation of cloudtop
brightness temperature and cloud particle
size, and surface property characterization in
derived products.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B14 Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND14
The infrared 11.2 μm band is a window
channel; however, there is absorption of
energy by water vapor at this wavelength.
Brightness Temperatures (BTs) are affected by
this absorption, and 11.2 μm BTs will be cooler
than clean window (10.3 μm) BTs – by an
amount that is a function of the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere. This band has
similarities to the legacy infrared channel at
10.7 μm.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B15 "Dirty" Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND15
Absorption and re-emission of water vapor,
particularly in the lower troposphere, slightly
cools most non-cloud brightness temperatures
(BTs) in the 12.3 μm band compared to the
other infrared window channels: the more
water vapor, the greater the BT difference.
The 12.3 μm band and the 10.3 μm are used
to compute the ‘split window difference’.
The 10.3 μm “Clean Window” channel is a
better choice than the “Dirty Window” (12.3
μm) for the monitoring of simple atmospheric
phenomena.
- GOES East ABI ConUS B16 Carbon Dioxide
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-BAND16
Products derived using the infrared 13.3 μm
“Carbon Dioxide” band can be used to
delineate the tropopause, to estimate cloudtop
heights, to discern the level of Derived
Motion Winds, to supplement Automated
Surface Observing System (ASOS) sky
observations and to identify Volcanic Ash. The
13.3 μm band is vital for Baseline Products;
that is demonstrated by its presence on
heritage GOES Imagers and Sounders. Despite
its importance in products, the CO2 channel is
typically not used for visual interpretation of
weather events.
- GOES East ABI ConUS True Color product
ID: G16-ABI-CONUS-TC
True Color Imagery gives an image that is
approximately as you would see it from Outer
Space. With ABI, the challenge of creating
True Color arises from the the lack of a Green
Band. The CIMSS Natural True Color product,
approximates the green by combining Blue
(0.47 µm), Red (0.64 µm) and ‘Veggie’ (0.86
µm) bands. The use of the Veggie band is
important because it mimics the enhanced
reflectivity present in the Green Band.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B01 "Blue" Visible
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND01
The 0.47 µm, or “Blue” visible band, is one of
two visible bands on the ABI, and provides data
for monitoring aerosols. Included on NASA’s
MODIS and Suomi NPP VIIRS instruments, this
band provides well-established benefits. The
geostationary ABI 0.47 µm band will provide
nearly continuous daytime observations of
dust, haze, smoke and clouds. The 0.47 µm
band is more sensitive to aerosols / dust /
smoke because it samples a part of the
electromagnetic spectrum where clear-sky
atmospheric scattering is important.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B02 Hi-Res "Red" Visible
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND02
The ‘Red’ Visible band – 0.64 µm – has the
finest spatial resolution (0.5 km at the subsatellite

and analysis of hurricanes and winter storms.
The ‘Red’ Visible band is also essential for

The 0.86 μm band (a reflective band) detects daytime clouds, fog, and aerosols and is used to compute the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Its nickname is the “veggie” or “vegetation” band. The 0.86 μm band can detect burn scars and thereby show land characteristics to determine fire and run-off potential. Vegetated land, in general, shows up brighter in this band than in visible bands. Landwater contrast is also large in this band.

The Cirrus Band (1.37 µm) is unique among
the reflective bands on the ABI in that it

- GOES East ABI Full Disk B05 Snow/Ice
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND05
The Snow/Ice band takes advantage of the
difference between the refraction components
of water and ice at 1.61 µm. Liquid water
clouds are bright in this channel; ice clouds are
darker because ice absorbs (rather than
reflects) radiation at 1.61 µm. Thus you can
infer cloud phase. Fires can also be detected
at night using this band.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B06 Cloud Particle Size
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND06
The 2.24 μm band, in conjunction with other
bands, enables cloud particle size estimation.

development. The 2.24 μm band is also used
with other bands to estimate aerosol particle
size (by characterizing the aerosol-free
background over land), to create cloud
masking and to detect hot spots.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B07 "Fire"

temperatures, and discriminate between ice
crystal sizes during the day. Low-level
atmospheric vector winds can be estimated
with this band, and the band can be used to
study urban heat islands. The 3.9 μm is unique
among ABI bands because it senses both
emitted terrestrial radiation as well as
significant reflected solar radiation during the

identifying jet streams, forecasting hurricane
track and mid-latitude storm motion, monitoring
severe weather potential, estimating upper/
mid-level moisture (for legacy vertical moisture
profiles) and identifying regions where the
potential for turbulence exists. Further, it can be
used to validate numerical model initialization
and warming/cooling with time can reveal
vertical motions at mid- and upper levels.

used for tracking middle-tropospheric winds,
identifying jet streams, forecasting hurricane
track and mid-latitude storm motion, monitoring
severe weather potential, estimating mid-level
moisture (for legacy vertical moisture profiles)
and identifying regions where turbulence might
exist. Surface features are usually not apparent
in this band. Brightness Temperatures show
cooling because of absorption of energy at 6.9
µm by water vapor.

typically senses farthest down into the midtroposphere
in cloud-free regions, to around
500-750 hPa. It is used to track lowertropospheric
winds, identify jet streaks, monitor

- GOES East ABI Full Disk B11 Cloud Phase
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND11
The infrared 8.5 μm band is a window channel;
there is little atmospheric absorption of
energy in clear skies at this wavelength (unless
SO2 from a volcanic eruption is present).
However, knowledge of emissivity is important
in the interpretation of this Band: Differences
in surface emissivity at 8.5 μm occur over
different soil types, affecting the perceived
brightness temperature. Water droplets also
have different emissivity properties for 8.5 μm
radiation compared to other wavelengths. The
8.5 μm band was not available on either the
Legacy GOES Imager or GOES Sounder.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B12 Ozone
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND12
The 9.6 μm band gives information both
day and night about the dynamics of
the atmosphere near the tropopause.
This band shows cooler temperatures
than the clean window band because
both ozone and water vapor absorb 9.6
μm atmospheric energy. The cooling
effect is especially apparent at large
zenith angles. This band alone cannot
diagnose total column ozone: product
generation using other bands will be
necessary for that.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B13 "Clean" Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND13
The 10.3 μm “clean” infrared window band is
less sensitive than other infrared window bands
to water vapor absorption, and therefore
improves atmospheric moisture corrections, aids
in cloud and other atmospheric feature
identification/classification, estimation of cloudtop
brightness temperature and cloud particle
size, and surface property characterization in
derived products.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B13 "Clean" Infrared enhanced

- GOES East ABI Full Disk B14 Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND14
The infrared 11.2 μm band is a window
channel; however, there is absorption of
energy by water vapor at this wavelength.
Brightness Temperatures (BTs) are affected by
this absorption, and 11.2 μm BTs will be cooler
than clean window (10.3 μm) BTs – by an
amount that is a function of the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere. This band has
similarities to the legacy infrared channel at
10.7 μm.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B15 "Dirty" Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND15
Absorption and re-emission of water vapor,
particularly in the lower troposphere, slightly
cools most non-cloud brightness temperatures
(BTs) in the 12.3 μm band compared to the
other infrared window channels: the more
water vapor, the greater the BT difference.
The 12.3 μm band and the 10.3 μm are used
to compute the ‘split window difference’.
The 10.3 μm “Clean Window” channel is a
better choice than the “Dirty Window” (12.3
μm) for the monitoring of simple atmospheric
phenomena.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk B16 Carbon Dioxide
ID: G16-ABI-FD-BAND16
Products derived using the infrared 13.3 μm
“Carbon Dioxide” band can be used to
delineate the tropopause, to estimate cloudtop
heights, to discern the level of Derived
Motion Winds, to supplement Automated
Surface Observing System (ASOS) sky
observations and to identify Volcanic Ash. The
13.3 μm band is vital for Baseline Products;
that is demonstrated by its presence on
heritage GOES Imagers and Sounders. Despite
its importance in products, the CO2 channel is
typically not used for visual interpretation of
weather events.
- GOES East ABI Full Disk True Color product
ID: G16-ABI-FD-TC
True Color Imagery gives an image that is
approximately as you would see it from Outer
Space. With ABI, the challenge of creating
True Color arises from the the lack of a Green
Band. The CIMSS Natural True Color product,
approximates the green by combining Blue
(0.47 µm), Red (0.64 µm) and ‘Veggie’ (0.86
µm) bands. The use of the Veggie band is
important because it mimics the enhanced
reflectivity present in the Green Band.
- GOES East ABI Meso1 B01 "Blue" Visible
ID: G16-ABI-MESO1-BAND01
The 0.47 µm, or “Blue” visible band, is one of
two visible bands on the ABI, and provides data
for monitoring aerosols. Included on NASA’s
MODIS and Suomi NPP VIIRS instruments, this
band provides well-established benefits. The
geostationary ABI 0.47 µm band will provide
nearly continuous daytime observations of
dust, haze, smoke and clouds. The 0.47 µm
band is more sensitive to aerosols / dust /
smoke because it samples a part of the
electromagnetic spectrum where clear-sky
atmospheric scattering is important.
- GOES East ABI Meso1 B02 Hi-Res "Red" Visible
ID: G16-ABI-MESO1-BAND02
The ‘Red’ Visible band – 0.64 µm – has the
finest spatial resolution (0.5 km at the subsatellite
point) of all ABI bands. Thus it is ideal
to identify small-scale features such as river
fogs and fog/clear air boundaries, or
overshooting tops or cumulus clouds. It has
also been used to document daytime snow
and ice cover, diagnose low-level cloud-drift
winds, assist with detection of volcanic ash
and analysis of hurricanes and winter storms.
The ‘Red’ Visible band is also essential for
creation of “true color” imagery.
- GOES East ABI Meso1 B03 "Veggie"
ID: G16-ABI-MESO1-BAND03
The 0.86 μm band (a reflective band) detects daytime clouds, fog, and aerosols and is used to compute the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Its nickname is the “veggie” or “vegetation” band. The 0.86 μm band can detect burn scars and thereby show land characteristics to determine fire and run-off potential. Vegetated land, in general, shows up brighter in this band than in visible bands. Landwater contrast is also large in this band.
- GOES East ABI Meso1 B04 Cirrus

are rich in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and track LakeEffect
snow bands.
- GOES East ABI Meso2 B11 Cloud Phase
ID: G16-ABI-MESO2-BAND11
The infrared 8.5 μm band is a window channel;
there is little atmospheric absorption of
energy in clear skies at this wavelength (unless
SO2 from a volcanic eruption is present).
However, knowledge of emissivity is important
in the interpretation of this Band: Differences
in surface emissivity at 8.5 μm occur over
different soil types, affecting the perceived
brightness temperature. Water droplets also
have different emissivity properties for 8.5 μm
radiation compared to other wavelengths. The
8.5 μm band was not available on either the
Legacy GOES Imager or GOES Sounder.
- GOES East ABI Meso2 B12 Ozone
ID: G16-ABI-MESO2-BAND12
The 9.6 μm band gives information both
day and night about the dynamics of
the atmosphere near the tropopause.
This band shows cooler temperatures
than the clean window band because
both ozone and water vapor absorb 9.6
μm atmospheric energy. The cooling
effect is especially apparent at large
zenith angles. This band alone cannot
diagnose total column ozone: product
generation using other bands will be
necessary for that.
- GOES East ABI Meso2 B13 "Clean" Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-MESO2-BAND13
IThe 10.3 μm “clean” infrared window band is
less sensitive than other infrared window bands
to water vapor absorption, and therefore
improves atmospheric moisture corrections, aids
in cloud and other atmospheric feature
identification/classification, estimation of cloudtop
brightness temperature and cloud particle
size, and surface property characterization in
derived products.

- GOES East ABI Meso2 B14 Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-MESO2-BAND14
The infrared 11.2 μm band is a window
channel; however, there is absorption of
energy by water vapor at this wavelength.
Brightness Temperatures (BTs) are affected by
this absorption, and 11.2 μm BTs will be cooler
than clean window (10.3 μm) BTs – by an
amount that is a function of the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere. This band has
similarities to the legacy infrared channel at
10.7 μm.
- GOES East ABI Meso2 B15 "Dirty" Infrared
ID: G16-ABI-MESO2-BAND15
Absorption and re-emission of water vapor,
particularly in the lower troposphere, slightly
cools most non-cloud brightness temperatures
(BTs) in the 12.3 μm band compared to the
other infrared window channels: the more
water vapor, the greater the BT difference.
The 12.3 μm band and the 10.3 μm are used
to compute the ‘split window difference’.
The 10.3 μm “Clean Window” channel is a
better choice than the “Dirty Window” (12.3
μm) for the monitoring of simple atmospheric
phenomena.
- GOES East ABI Meso2 B16 Carbon Dioxide
ID: G16-ABI-MESO2-BAND16
Products derived using the infrared 13.3 μm
“Carbon Dioxide” band can be used to
delineate the tropopause, to estimate cloudtop
heights, to discern the level of Derived
Motion Winds, to supplement Automated
Surface Observing System (ASOS) sky
observations and to identify Volcanic Ash. The
13.3 μm band is vital for Baseline Products;
that is demonstrated by its presence on
heritage GOES Imagers and Sounders. Despite
its importance in products, the CO2 channel is
typically not used for visual interpretation of
weather events.

Cyclogenesis can be inferred by the identification of
warm, dry, ozone-rich descending stratospheric air
associated with jet streams and potential vorticity (PV)
anomalies. The RGB can be used to validate the location of PV anomalies in model data. Additionally,
this RGB can distinguish between polar and tropical
air masses, especially along frontal boundaries and
identify high-, mid-, and low- level clouds.

ID: conusir
ConUS Infrared 1km (15 min, GEO) In the infrared (IR) channel, the satellite senses energy as heat. The earth’s surface absorbs about half of the incoming solar energy. Clouds and the atmosphere absorb a much smaller amount. The earth’s surface, clouds, and the atmosphere then re-emit part of this absorbed solar energy as heat. The infrared channel senses this re-emitted radiation. A major advantage of the IR channel is that it can sense energy at night, so this imagery is available 24 hours a day. This is a disadvantage of the visible channel, which requires daylight and cannot "see" after dark.

Visible satellite imagery is produced when the satellite radiometer collects reflected energy in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is only available during daylight as it relies on reflected solar radiation. Highly reflective surfaces like clouds, snow cover, sea ice and desert sand show up as bright white. Bodies of water like lakes, rivers and oceans reflect less sunlight, appearing darker. Land surface, vegetated ground and soil display as dark gray.

- NUCAPS-MADIS-SBCAPE
ID: NUCAPS-MADIS-SBCAPE
The MADIS-NUCAPS Surface-Based CAPE merges hourly average surface observations from the NCEP Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) with NOAA NUCAPS soundings from the most recent overpass of operational meteorological satellites (SNPP, METOP, or NOAA-20). The SB-CAPE is computed using the SHARPYpy software derived from software used by the NWS Storm Prediction Center (SPC). The satellite data are obtained using the SSEC direct broadcast antennae, processed using CSPP software in near-real time, and displayed in near-real time using SSEC"s RealEarth.
