Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI)

The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) is a high-tech health monitor for weather satellites, specifically aboard NOAA's GOES-R series. It captures detailed images of Earth's atmosphere, land, and water across multiple wavelengths, including visible and infrared. This allows meteorologists to observe weather patterns, storms, and environmental changes in near real-time with high precision. The ABI's advanced sensors provide clearer, more frequent updates, improving weather forecasts and disaster response. Essentially, it’s the satellite’s eye, providing crucial data to understand and predict weather conditions more accurately.
