abstract: This data collection consists of archived Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 0 data from the GOES-East and GOES-West satellites in the operational (OPS) and the post-launch test (PLT) phases. The GOES-R Series provides continuity of the GOES mission through 2035 and improvements in geostationary satellite observational data. GOES-16, the first GOES-R satellite, began operating as GOES-East on December 18, 2017. GOES-17 began operating as GOES-West on February 12, 2019. GOES-T launched on March 1, 2022, and was renamed to GOES-18 on March 14, 2022. GOES-U, the final satellite in the series, is scheduled to launch in 2024. ABI is a multi-channel passive imaging radiometer observing the Western Hemisphere. The ABI Level 0 data are composed of Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) packets containing the science, housekeeping, engineering, and diagnostic telemetry data downlinked from the instrument. The Level 0 data files also contain orbit and attitude/angular rate packets generated by the GOES spacecraft. Each CCSDS packet contains a unique Application Process Identifier (APID) in the primary header that identifies the specific type of packet, and is used to support interpretation of its contents. Users may refer to the GOES-R Series Product Definition and Users’ Guide (PUG) Volume 1 (Main) and Volume 2 (Level 0 Products) for Level 0 data documentation. Related instrument calibration data and Level 1b processing information are archived and available for order at the NOAA CLASS website. The ABI Level 0 data files are delivered in a netCDF-4 file format, however, the constituent CCSDS packets are stored in a byte array making the data opaque for standard netCDF reader applications. The ABI Level 0 data files are packaged in hourly tar files (data bundles) by satellite for the archive. Recently ingested archive tar files are available for 14 days on an anonymous FTP server for users to download. Data archived on offline tape may be requested from NCEI.
purpose: The ABI Level 0 data are used for specialized data processing activities. The Level 0 CCSDS packets must be uncompressed, extracted and byte-aligned to create Level 1a data product. The Level 1b data processing extracts the Level 1a data, and performs the radiometric and geometric corrections.
