Spatial and Spectral GOES US imager comparison:

March 02, 2005

These are similar to those listed below for October 21, 2003. With code borrowed from Mike Griffin of MIT-LL, these spectral response functions were created because they fit the full-width half-max points accurately. These have been nicknamed "GBH" which stands for "Gaussian-Boxcar Hybrid" because they have a gaussian curve for the sides and then flatten out at the top like a boxcar function.

The only differences between this release of SRFs (02Mar2005) and the previous release (23Jan2004) are in these three bands:

Band 3	FROM 0.84-0.88   (0.86)	TO 0.846-0.885 (0.865)
Band 4	FROM 1.365-1.395 (1.38)	TO 1.371-1.386 (1.378)
Band 6	FROM 2.235-2.285 (2.26)	TO 2.225-2.275 (2.25)

You can FTP these files fromftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/ABI/SRF- FTP anonymously to the machine ftp.ssec.wisc.edu and go into the ABI/SRF directory. The SRFs are ascii text files and there is a readme file as well. Older versions are there in separate directories.

Simulated ABI Images -- Java Loop

October 21, 2003

The SRFs in "New SRF simulations" from October 21, 2003 (below) are used here to create weighting functions for the U.S. Standard Atmosphere with a view angle of 40 and surface pressure of 1000mb.

• See how the weighting function of the 6.15 µm band (8 - current spec in PORD) compares to the adjusted 6.19 µm band (18) in thisfigure.
  
• See how the weighting function of the 7.00 µm band (9 - current spec in PORD) compares to the adjusted 6.95 µm band (19) in thisfigure.
  
• See how the weighting function of the 7.40 µm band (10 - current spec in PORD) compares to the adjusted 7.34 µm band (20) in thisfigure.
  
• See how the weighting function of the 9.73 µm ozone band (12 - current spec in PORD) compares to the adjusted 9.61 µm band (17) and the 9.7 µm band (21 - the original ozone band) in thisfigure.
  

• Or see all 10 of the IR bands (7-16) that are spec in the current PORD in thisfigure

October 21, 2003

With code borrowed from Mike Griffin of MIT-LL, these spectral response functions were created because they fit the full-width half-max points accurately, whereas the older "Mock" SRFs did not. These have been nicknamed "GBH" which stands for Gaussian-Boxcar Hybrid because they have a gaussian curve for the sides and then flatten out at the top like a boxcar function.

See theplot here.

You can FTP them fromftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/ABI/SRF- FTP anonymously to the machine ftp.ssec.wisc.edu and go into the ABI/SRF directory. The SRFs are there in ascii text files (grab everything there, which will include a readme).

Download the current bandwidthspecifications(current as of October 2003)

Notes: The current plan is for there to be 16 bands on the ABI. The first 6 are visible/near IR bands. There currently is not an official band numbering; the band numbering provided here is provided for simplification.

Simulated ABI Images -- Java Loop

June 6, 2002

Last update: June 30, 2003

Simulated visible and near IR ABI images were created by convolving high spectral resolution aircraft data from the AVIRIS instrument.  From the AVIRIS radiance files, specific ABI bands were made into smaller radiance files using a program from Michael Griffin from MIT/LL.   From these radiance files images were created using the ENVI software.  Click on the link to continue to the images.
