NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Land Surface Temperature (LST)

Description

The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Land Surface (Skin) Temperature product contains an image with pixel values identifying the instantaneous land surface skin temperature or surface radiometric temperature. Measured from the perspective of the satellite, the product is limited to clear conditions over land and represents the effective land temperature over an isothermal mixed pixel. The product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the quality of the algorithm retrievals for on-earth pixels. The units of measure for the land surface (skin) temperature value is kelvin. The Land Surface (Skin) Temperature product image is produced on the ABI fixed grid at 10 km resolution for Full Disk and 2 km resolution for CONUS and Mesoscale coverage regions from GOES East and West. The product's spatial resolution increased from 10 km to 2 km on 10 September 2021. Product data is produced under the following conditions: Existence of land; Clear sky; Geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 85 degrees for both daytime and nighttime conditions.
