The 0.47 µm, or “Blue” visible band on the GOES Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) provides nearly continuous daytime observations of dust, haze, smoke and clouds. At night, the 10.3 μm “clean” infrared window band provides continuous day/night cloud feature identification and classification, convective severe weather signatures, and hurricane intensity. Combining both bands' imagery shows the continuous progression of the weather.
You can advance the imagery by placing your cursor over the image and using your mouse's scroll wheel, clicking the image and using the up and down arrows on your keyboard, or by clicking and dragging the scroll bar down (to go forward) or up (to go back). To save a particular image, scroll through the animation to the frame you want and right-click.
