The following are links pertaining to simulated ABI images. These images were simulated by first running high-spatial resolution numerical models, followed by advanced forward models. Most of these simulations were preformed on the 'cobalt' supercomputer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois. They are provided to help prepare for the ABI data. Please credit: UW/CIMSS.

Near real-time ABI IR bands are simulated from the NSSL WRF model.
