GNC-A GOES-R Imagery – Band 8 Continued Europe was the first to put a water vapor band on a geostationary imager, in 1977. It was soon followed by the Visible-Infrared Spin-Scan Radiometer (VISSR) on GOES-4 in 1980. The spatial resolution of this VISSR band was approximately 14 km, meaning the GOES-R ABI water vapor bands improve spatial resolution by almost 50 times. Of course there have been other improvements with the ABI as well, such as images at least every 5 minutes (over the Contiguous U.S.), compared to 30-minute images with GOES-4. The three lower panels show the three water vapor bands of JMA’s AHI: 6.2, 7.0, and 7.3 μm, respectively from top to bottom. Similar brightness temperatures are observed in cloudy regions (cold or green colors), while the three levels can be seen in the clear sky, with the 7.3 μm reporting the warmest temperatures. Similar to the ABI, each of these water vapor bands are 2 km spatial resolution (at the sub-point). The top panel shows the corresponding 6.75μm, 4 km spatial resolution water vapor image from MTSAT. These images are from July 6, 2015, at approximately 21:30 UTC and each satellite is shown in its native projection. This image was made in McIDAS-X.
