ABI Compression Datasets Available:
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-12 Imager full
disk images have been added to the growing Cooperative Institute of
Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI)
compression study dataset archive. Researchers are
using the data to examine compression techniques that will benefit
current and future GOES imager data storage and
dissemination. Other data sets provided to date include
MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data with
bit-depths reduced to presumed ABI parameters, unaltered MODIS data,
and Meteosat-8 full disk images. An informational web page is
at http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/abi/bitdepthcompression/bitdepthcompression.html.
