Images released by NOAA illustrate the unprecedented views of severe weather that forecasters will have later this year, provided all goes as planned with orbital checkout of GOES-16, the 5,200-kilogram satellite launched in November. Once operational, the satellite's main instrument, the Advanced Baseline Imager built by Harris Corp in Indiana, will generate a complete "disk" image of North and South America once every 15 minutes, plus an image of the continental US once every five minutes and images of smaller areas once every minute when necessary, says NOAA researcher Tim J. Schmit, who began conceptual work on the ABI in the late l990s.
