NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Hurricane Intensity Estimation (HIE)

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 Hurricane Intensity product contains information about tropical cyclones along their trajectories from the time they are identified to the current time. Tropical cyclone information provided in the product includes its identity, location, maximum wind speed, Dvorak tropical cyclone current intensity number, detailed wind shear, cloud, and eye characteristics, strengthening and weakening state information, and the start, midpoint, and end observation time of the source ABI product image. Data quality information is not included in the product. A hurricane intensity product file is produced for each tropical cyclone. The units of measure for the maximum sustained wind speed value is meters per second. The advanced Dvorak technique tropical cyclone current and tropical intensity numbers are dimensionless quantities. The Hurricane Intensity product is produced using ABI Full Disk coverage region observations. Product data is produced when a tropical cyclone is in the ABI's field of regard for both daytime and nighttime conditions.
