Abstract:
The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Fog/Low Stratus (FLS) products contain estimates of low cloud/fog
thickness and probabilities of reduced aviation visibility for Marginal Visual Flight Rules, Instrument
Flight Rules, and Low Instrument Flight Rules from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument. Also, the
FLS probability products include information when higher clouds mask the satellite view of low clouds, and
screens out regions of elevated stratus to highlight areas where the cloud ceiling likely meets the
categorical thresholds.
Purpose:
This data is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
FLS may be used to gain more information on cloud decks over data voids. It may also be used as a decision
aid for terminal aerodrome forecast preparation. FLS can provide the forecaster confidence information on
spatial extent, and help the forecaster convey uncertainty in the Area Forecast Discussion and to NWS core
partners (e.g. FAA).

Statement:
The data were produced by the NOAA Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) and are archived at
the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
Process step:
Process Step:
Description:
The Legacy Vertical Temperature Profile, Legacy Vertical Moisture Profile, Total Precipitable Water,
and Derived Stability Indices products are generated by the GOES-R ABI Legacy Atmospheric Profiles
ground processing algorithm. The algorithm uses processed NWP model profile data as the first guess
and employs a regression retrieval followed by an iterative physical retrieval that utilizes the
ground system implementation of the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) to derive the final
product data. The temperature and moisture profiles contain values at 101 standard pressure levels,
of which only 54 temperature and 35 moisture pressure levels are actually populated in the
retrieval. The 54 temperature levels are from approximately 103 hPa to approximately 1014 hPa. The
35 moisture levels are from 300 hPa to approximately 1014 hPa. The regression retrieval is applied
for coverage regions corresponding to local zenith angles to 80 degrees but the physical retrieval
is limited to local zenith angles to 67 degrees. The product is generated for 5 x 5 fields of regard
from 2 km pixel inputs where the percentage of clear pixels satisfies a 20 percent threshold. Clear
sky is determined using clear and probably clear pixels indicated in the temporally coincident
intermediate 4-level cloud mask generated by the Cloud Mask algorithm. Total precipitable water from
the surface to 300 hPa is derived from the retrieved moisture profile. In addition, the five
atmospheric stability indices, CAPE, K-index, Lifted Index, Showalter Index, and Total Totals Index,
are derived from the retrieved moisture and temperature profiles. Pixels in the product images with
out of range values are assigned the minimum or maximum value in the valid range.
