Geostationary Satellite Matching Webapp
A webapp that was developed to match images and hence learn about the ABI spectral bands. After navigating to the page, click and hold on an image, draw a line to the matching image. You can “right click” to open an image. Finally click on the yellow “check” box to verify your selections.
8 Spectral bands
A (30 sec) movie (mp4) showing how to use the matching webapp for 8 of the ABI spectral bands. (Click to play)
One option is to match 8 of the total 16 ABI spectral bands.
16 Spectral bands
Beginning to match two of the 16 ABI spectral bands.
Another option is to match all 16 ABI spectral bands.
Matching Visible bands to ground-based photos
In this case, ABI visible images match to photographs.
With this webapp, one matches the correct ABI visible spectral band with a photograph that was taken on the ground. A short (30-sec) animation on running the webapp: mp4 or mov.

Questions and other Webapps
Webapps have been developed to demonstrate other concepts of remote sensing, such as pixel size and generating composites.
