NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Reflected Shortwave Radiation Top-of-Atmosphere

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2017-06-23T00:00:00.000+00:00
The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Reflected Shortwave Radiation (RSR): TOA product contains an image with pixel values identifying the instantaneous total shortwave irradiance (flux) energing at the Earth's TOA integrated over the 0.2 to 4.0 um wavelength bandpass. It includes contributions from the solar radiation reflected upward by the Earth's surface and that scattered by the atmosphere. The product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the reflected shortwave radiation: TOA data values for on-earth pixels. The units of measure for the reflected shortwave radiation: TOA value is watts per square meter. The Reflected Shortwave Radiation: TOA product image is produced on a global latitude/longitude grid at 0.25 degree resolution for Full Disk and CONUS coverage regions from GOES East and West. Product data is produced for geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 90 degrees and solar zenith angles to 90 degrees.
