ESSIC / CICS-MD Visiting Associate Research Scientists Fangfang Yu and Zhipeng Wang were recently published on a new CICS Task entitled “Calibration Support for Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI)”.
The Advanced Baseline Imager is an instrument onboard the GOES-R satellites that images Earth’s weather, oceans and environment. The GOES-R ABI has presented many new challenges in radiometric calibration, or calibrating image data to radiance, reflectance, or brightness temperatures. These are reflected upon in their recent publications:
“In-orbit response versus scan-angle (RVS) validation for the GOES-16 ABI solar reflective bands”
“Validation of GOES-16 ABI infrared spatial response uniformity”
“Detection and characterization of striping in GOES-16 ABI VNIR/IR bands”
“Radiometric quality assessment of GOES-16 ABI L1b images”
