NOAA GOES-19 ABI 2 km Full-Disk Level 2 Products

GribStream Code: goes19abi

NOAA GOES-19 ABI full-disk instantaneous rainfall rate on the native GOES-East fixed grid — NOAA GOES-19 ABI RRQPE at 2026-07-18 12:00:19 UTC, rendered from the native 5,424 by 5,424 GOES-East fixed grid; colors show instantaneous rainfall rate in mm h-1. This plot was generated from the goes19abi dataset.

Current coverage: 18 NOAA Level 2 full-disk product families begin April 8, 2025. The four FDCF fire fields begin July 10, 2026; earlier FDCF scans are not currently included. These are observation-derived analyses, not forecasts; forecasted_at and forecasted_time identify the same scan and horizon is 0.

Stable GOES-East record: coverage begins with the first full UTC day after GOES-19 entered operational service in the GOES-East slot. Earlier checkout and orbital-drift data are excluded so this dataset uses the operational fixed grid centered at 75W.

Availability and open data: new observations depend on NOAA's satellite feed, so maneuvers, calibration, outages, and product transitions can create gaps. NOAA data distributed through its Open Data program are available for public use; attribution is requested and NOAA endorsement must not be implied.

Description

ABI, the Advanced Baseline Imager, observes the GOES-East disk in 16 spectral bands. The cloud and moisture imagery fields combine those calibrated channels into a consistent full-disk view, from visible reflectance through water-vapor and infrared brightness temperatures.

The derived Level 2 fields turn those radiances into application-focused observations: cloud properties and cloud tops, smoke and dust flags, fire detections and radiative power, aerosol optical depth, shortwave radiation, rainfall, snow cover, land reflectance and temperature, and sea-surface temperature. Together they connect storm, air-quality, energy, hydrology, cryosphere, land, and ocean workflows in one fixed-grid dataset.

Each retrieval has limits. Several products depend on daylight, clear-sky conditions, cloud screening, or assumptions about atmospheric and surface properties. Viewing geometry and footprint size degrade toward the limb. Fire detections are not a substitute for incident confirmation, and temperature or aerosol retrievals can be absent under clouds or outside their valid domain.

Use /api/v2/goes19abi/timeseries for point histories and /api/v2/goes19abi/runs for exact scan times or gridded extraction. The generated inventory below lists all 46 selectors and their source units.

Key features:
- Sixteen CMI_C01-CMI_C16 cloud and moisture imagery bands, with reflectance for bands 1-6 and brightness temperature in K for bands 7-16.
- Cloud masks, probability, Phase, optical depth, particle size, and 2 km cloud-top height, pressure, and temperature, plus binary Smoke, Dust, Cloud, and SnowIce flags.
- Fire characterization, RRQPE rainfall rate, aerosol optical depth, downwelling and reflected shortwave radiation, snow cover, land albedo, bidirectional reflectance, LST land temperature, and sea-surface temperature.
- One source-native 5,424 by 5,424 GOES-East fixed grid, corresponding to about 2 km sampling at nadir.
- Forty-six exact selectors preserving NOAA field names and units; most products update about every 10 minutes, while several surface-temperature and snow products are hourly.
Resolution: One native geostationary fixed grid with 5,424 by 5,424 cells at about 2 km sampling at nadir. Ground footprints become larger toward the limb, and cells outside the visible Earth disk are null.
Temporal coverage: Full-disk imagery, fire, aerosol, radiation, and rainfall products are generally published at approximately 10-minute intervals. Sea-surface temperature is hourly. Exact source scan times include seconds.
Primary uses: Cloud structure and phase analysis, tropical-cyclone and convection monitoring, wildfire and smoke detection, dust and aerosol tracking, solar-resource monitoring, satellite rainfall estimation, snow mapping, land-surface characterization, and ocean temperature tracking.
