GOES-16 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Mesoscale Sector Data

Project:

RELAMPAGO

Summary

This data set contains the 1 minute resolution data from the GOES-16 satellite Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) mesoscale sectors during the period of RELAMPAGO operations. All 16 channels are included at their full resolution. The actual sectors vary in location and not all sectors will cover the RELAMPAGO region. The data are in NetCDF files packed into hourly tar files.

Archive note

This is a large data set, consisting of approximately 1 GB per hour. Please consider the size of the data set when making your order. You can order approximately 1 day in a single order.
