NOAA GOES-R ABI — products & domains#

The catalog (earthlens.goes.Catalog, backed by the bundled goes_data_catalog.yaml) curates a subset of the ABI product families, the scan domains, the satellite→bucket map, and the 16 ABI spectral channels.

from earthlens.goes import Catalog

cat = Catalog()
cat.products()                 # curated product keys
cat.get_product("abi-l2-mcmip")
cat.get_domain("M1")
cat.bucket_for("east")         # -> 'noaa-goes19'
cat.channels["C13"]            # ABI band 13 (Clean longwave window)

The full public catalog on the buckets is larger (100+ product prefixes per satellite, including the space-weather instruments SUVI / EXIS / MAG / SEIS and the GLM lightning mapper); the rows above are the curated imagery / science subset. Point the backend at any other product by extending the YAML.

Domains#

Key Name Cadence Prefix suffix Subsector filename token
C CONUS 5 min C
F Full Disk 10 min F
M1 Mesoscale 1 1 min M (shared) …M1
M2 Mesoscale 2 1 min M (shared) …M2

Cadence is informational: enumeration lists the actual hour prefix and keeps whatever granules are there, rather than computing an expected count.

ABI spectral channels#

The 16 ABI bands (channels in the catalog) — used to select granules for the band-split products (abi-l1b-rad, abi-l2-cmip):

Channel µm Name Channel µm Name
C01 0.47 Blue (visible) C09 6.9 Mid-level water vapour
C02 0.64 Red (visible) C10 7.3 Lower-level water vapour
C03 0.86 Veggie (near-IR) C11 8.4 Cloud-top phase
C04 1.37 Cirrus (near-IR) C12 9.6 Ozone
C05 1.6 Snow/Ice (near-IR) C13 10.3 Clean longwave window
C06 2.2 Cloud particle size C14 11.2 Longwave window
C07 3.9 Shortwave window C15 12.3 Dirty longwave window
C08 6.2 Upper-level water vapour C16 13.3 CO2 longwave
