• Description:
  The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) is the primary instrument onboard NOAA’s current generation of Geostationary Operational Environment Satellites R-series (GOES-R) satellites, measuring the reflected and emitted energy from the Earth. It consists of 16 channels, 10 in the thermal infrared (IR) and 6 in the solar reflective spectrum. Being the first in the GOES-R series satellites, GOES-16 was launched on November 19, 2016, and became operational as GOES-East at 75.2°W since December 18, 2017. We examine the radiometric calibration accuracy and stability of GOES-16 ABI IR radiance since its first light in January 2017, including the effects of two major updates of the GOES-R Ground Segment processing for the IR channels in October 2017, and June 2018.
