6. Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Specifications 16 channel imager Improves upon current capabilities in spectral information (3X), spatial coverage (4X), and temporal resolution (5X) Improves every product from current GOES Imager and will offer new products for severe weather forecasting, fire and smoke monitoring, volcanic ash advisories, and more ABI Proto-Type Model (PTM) 6 The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on the GOES-R Series: Tim Schmit – Tue, April 5, 1:45 pm ITT Corporation of Ft. Wayne, IN is primary contractor

7. Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) 7 Specifications Detects total lightning: in-cloud, cloud-to- cloud, and cloud-to-ground 70-90% flash detection day and night Near uniform spatial resolution Aids in forecasting severe storms and tornado activity, and convective weather impacts on aviation safety and efficiency Currently no ocean coverage, and limited land coverage in dead zones Optical Assembly Sensor Unit Mechanical Support Structure Metering tube High Impact Weather Forecasts & Warnings with the Geostationary Lightning Mapper: Steve Goodman – Tue, April 5, 2:00 pm Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Corp of Palo Alto, CA is primary contractor

10. 10 GOES Rebroadcast and Unique Payload Services GRB – GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) – GRB will contain the Level 1b data from each of the GOES-R Series instruments and is the GOES-R Series version of today’s GOES Variable format (GVAR). Information Network (HRIT/EMWIN) – New high data rate (400 Kbps) – Combination of today’s LRIT (Low Rate Information Transmission) and EMWIN services; – Delivers selected imagery, charts, other environmental data products, and text messages (NWS Watches and Warnings) to hemispheric users. Data Collection System (DCS) – GOES-R spacecraft relay data transmissions for nearly 30,000 in-situ environmental data platforms from across the hemisphere. – GOES-R will support 300 bps, 1200 bps, and CDMA platforms. SARSAT – All GOES-R satellites support the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) service by relaying distress signals from in-situ Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and other transmitting devices.

12. GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) Data Transition Full set of level 1b products, including data from all ABI channels and the other GOES-R instruments (GLM, MAG, SEISS, SUVI, EXIS). GOES users must acquire new hardware, or upgrade their existing GVAR systems in order to receive GOES-R data. Existing GVAR systems will need new receiver antenna hardware, as well as new signal demodulation hardware and computer hardware so that they are able to handle the large amount of GOES-R data. CLASS will provide permanent archive for GOES-R data as part of its mission to be the single data repository for NOAA. GOES-R Rebroadcast Services: Satya Kalluri– Tue, April 5, 2:30 pm 12

13. GOES-R Changes Since 2008 DRO No eGVAR (Emulated GOES Variable Data) – Program will work with users to transition directly to GRB GOES-R L band frequency shift – Presidential Broadband Initiative 13 Breakout Session: Transition from GOES to GOES-R: GVAR, GRB, GAS: Thu, April 7, 3:30 pm
