There have been many recent changes to better observe Alaska from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) perspective. The most significant change was on 12 February 2019 when GOES-17 became NOAA’s operational West geostationary satellite. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) has spectral bands covering the visible, near-infrared, and infrared portions of the electro-magnetic spectrum, and represents a major improvement from the legacy GOES imagers for many attributes. The current status of Level 2 or derived products, such as cloud heights or atmospheric motion vectors, from the GOES-17 ABI will also be covered.
