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. The archived products are distributed in the netCDF-4 file format with metadata attributes included. Please expand "Details - Metadata, Documentation" section below for more details. Individual product (Datatype) description, documentation, and possible bulk access options are available under the "Product Details" link.

Notes
5/7/2019 - The GOES-17 ABI L2+ Clear Sky Mask, Cloud Phase & Type, and Cloud Top Properties (Temperature, Pressure, Height) have all been declared Provisional validation maturity by the Peer Stakeholder-Product Validation Review Panel on May 6, 2019. The remainder of the GOES-17 ABI Level 2+ products is scheduled to be released later this year. Be sure to read the Readme files located at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/satellite-data/goes-r-series-satellites to fully understand the quality of each dataset. 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.
