• Description:
  A number of approaches have been developed to generate true color images from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-16. GOES-16 is the first of a series of four spacecraft with the ABI onboard. These approaches are complicated since the ABI does not have a green (0.55m) spectral band. Despite this limitation, representative true color images can be built. A methodology for generating color images from the ABI is discussed, along with corresponding examples from the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera on Deep Space Climate Observatory.
