Built by Harris [1] for the GOES - R line of Satellites. The imaging capabilities of the ABI is superior to previous imagers in several ways:
This instrument has 16 bands (Over the last GOES Imager, which only had 5 bands [2]):
2 Visible Bands:
4 Near IR Bands:
10 other Infrared Bands:
This changes depending on the type of image.
Spatial resoltuion depends on what band is being used. Band 2 has a spatial resolution of 500 meters Bands 1,3,4,5 and 6 have spatial resolutions of 1 km All other bands have spatial resolutions of 2 km
This instrument is used for measuring lightning (in-cloud and cloud-to-ground) activity. To do this, it considers a single channel in the NIR (777.4 nm) constantly, even during the day, to catch flashes from lightning.
The sensor has a 1372 by 1300 pixel CCD, with an 8-14 km spatial resolution (with the resolution decreasing near the edges of the FOV). The GLM has a frame rate of 2 milliseconds, meaning it considers the entire study area 500 times every second. [4].
