Abstract. The advanced baseline imager (ABI) on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-R Series is a great improvement compared to the legacy GOES imager. For example, there are more spectral bands at improved spatial resolution and more frequent imagery. The vast majority of the images generated by the ABIs are free of visual defects, well calibrated, and produced in a timely fashion. Yet, there are rare times when visual artifacts, or anomalies, occur. Our study highlights and explains a number of these artifacts, some of which are traditional imagery defects for imagers such as striping and stray light, and colorfully named artifacts such as “caterpillar tracks” and “shark fins.” In addition, multiple resources are presented for more information about image quality and near-real-time image monitoring.

Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R 系列高级基线图像伪像

摘要。与传统的 GOES 成像仪相比，地球同步运行环境卫星 (GOES)-R 系列上的高级基线成像仪 (ABI) 是一个巨大的改进。例如，在改进的空间分辨率和更频繁的图像下有更多的光谱带。ABI 生成的绝大多数图像都没有视觉缺陷、经过良好校准并及时生成。然而，偶尔会出现视觉伪影或异常现象。我们的研究突出并解释了许多此类伪影，其中一些是成像仪的传统图像缺陷，如条纹和杂散光，以及色彩鲜艳的伪影，如“毛毛虫轨迹”和“鲨鱼鳍”。此外，还提供了多种资源以获取有关图像质量和近实时图像监控的更多信息。
