GOES-19 Ice Products Provisional Review: The GOES-19 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) sea and lake ice products Provisional Peer/Stakeholder - Product Validation Review (PS-PVR) was held on 19 February 2025. The Provisional Maturity Review evaluated the status of the ABI Ice Concentration and Ice Age/Thickness products. The GOES-R Cryosphere Team presented validation results for the ice products. As Feng He and Xuanji Wang (CIMSS) reported, the Ice Concentration and Ice Age/Thickness products meet the accuracy and precision requirements. The review board declared these products to have reached Provisional Validation maturity. (J. Key, jeff.key@wisc.edu, Feng He, Xuanji Wang, CIMSS; Yinghui Liu, NOAA)
