NASA | ABI: The Future of Weather Monitoring

The video discusses the launch of the NOAA GOES-R satellite in 2016, highlighting its primary sensor, the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). ABI offers significant improvements over previous imagers, with 16 spectral bands, faster coverage, and better spatial resolution. These enhancements enable rapid real-time weather forecasting, providing updates every minute and full Earth scans in five minutes. ABI's data aids in tracking storms, monitoring environmental factors, and improving public safety by offering earlier warnings for severe weather events. The video emphasizes ABI's role in enhancing weather prediction capabilities and its benefits to the public.
