Simulated GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) imagery of hurricane Katrina as it is making landfall in southeast Louisiana. Four images are shown stacked on top of each other (as viewed from a 45° angle to the earths surface. Each one of these images represents at which level the ABI would be seeing these data. From bottom to top, the surface image is made with the shortwave infrared image, then the next three images are different water vapor images at different altitudes. These are the only channels that will be used to make soundings in the future with the ABI. The rest of the data will be interpolated from NWP output.
