NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Aerosol Detection (ADP)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2017-12-12T00:00:00.000+00:00
The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Aerosol Detection product contains three images in the form of binary masks that identify the presence of aerosols, dust, and smoke. The aerosol mask indicates the presence of either smoke or dust. The dust and smoke masks indicate the presence of dust and smoke, respectively. Because the presence of smoke and dust are independently derived, a given pixel can be identified with both dust and smoke. The product includes data quality information for on-earth pixels. The binary aerosol, dust, and smoke mask values are dimensionless quantities. The Aerosol Detection product images are produced on the ABI fixed grid at 2 km resolution for Full Disk, CONUS and Mesoscale coverage regions from GOES East and West. Product data is produced under the following conditions: Clear sky; Snow-free; Geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 90 degrees and to solar zenith angles of 87 degrees.
