Earth Observations from Geostationary Satellites: Applied Research and Applications
Earth Observations from Geostationary Satellites: Applied Research and Applications
Session ID#: 119409
Session Description:
Instrumentation aboard the newest generation geostationary satellites has allowed Earth observations that were previously not possible. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) aboard NOAA’s GOES-R series, and similar instruments on satellites launched by other countries, is a MODIS-like instrument spectrally but can provide data up to every 30 seconds of a given scene, allowing for feature tracking and broad applications in weather forecasts, atmospheric physics/chemistry as well as ocean/land (including Land Cover/Land Use Change) monitoring. Additionally, the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) provides constant, near hemispheric monitoring of lightning activity. This section solicits work on advanced research and practical applications using data derived from instruments aboard U.S. and international geostationary satellites. We are especially interested in papers that support the missions of either NOAA or NASA Earth Sciences.
