Data Description
GOES-R Series ABI Products GRABIPRD (partially restricted L1b and L2+ Data Products) -
The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) is the primary instrument in the GOES-R Series for imaging Earth's weather, oceans, and environment. The ABI views the Earth with 16 different spectral bands compared to five on the previous generation GOES imagers. The ABI includes two visible channels, four near-infrared channels, and ten infrared channels, providing three times more spectral information, four times greater spatial resolution, and more than five times temporal coverage. This ABI data family includes the Level 1b Radiance data, Level 2 Cloud/Moisture Imagery, and several other Level 2 derived products. Product details (Readme's, maturity status) can be found at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/satellite-data/goes-r-series-satellites.
The archived products are distributed in the netCDF-4 file format with metadata attributes included. Further information and details can be found in the "Details - Metadata, Documentation" section below. Individual product (Datatype) description, documentation, and possible bulk access options are available under the "Product Details" link.

Notes
5/22/2019 - Many of the GOES-17 Level 2 products have reached Provisional Validation and are now available from CLASS. Readmes for these products describing the level of product maturity are located at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/satellite-data/goes-r-series-satellites. For any questions please contact the CLASS Help Desk. 2/12/2019 - GOES-17 became the operational GOES-West satellite on February 12, 2019. The GOES-17 ABI Level 1B Radiance data and Cloud and Moisture Imagery products are available from CLASS since August 27, 2018. Be sure to note the product maturity described in the Readme files located at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/satellite-data/goes-r-series-satellites. The remainder of the GOES-17 ABI Level 2+ products will remain restricted through at least March 2019. 12/18/2017 - Please note that CLASS does not support geographic subsetting for this group of datatypes. Using the spatial search tool will find files which include part or all of the area within the user defined area; however, the full extent of the original data will be delivered. Product Documentation is available at http://www.goes-r.gov/resources/docs.html.
