1. ABI T. Schmit has been working on this GOES-R project since 1999.
This project is with Jun Li, Mat Gunshor of CIMSS.
Instrumental (with P. Menzel) defining ABI band selection
ABI was originally only 8 bands, now it’s a 16-band imager!
Had also suggested 0.55 and 3.7 um bands
Generated many ABI datasets and briefings
Developed a (beta) VISITview lesson on the ABI
