    • NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Ice Concentration and Extent (AICE)

    Metadata Updated: November 2, 2023

    The GOES-R Advanced Basline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Ice Concentration and Extent (AICE) contains estimated ice extent, ice concentration, and ice surface temperature over water surfaces under clear-sky conditions. Linear regression is used to retrieve ice surface temperature from the GOES-R ABI with split window channels. A group threshold method is applied to identify ice over water surfaces and a tie-point algorithm is carried out to determine the representative reflectance/temperature of 100% ice covered surface, which is then used to estimate the ice concentration. The algorithm used for the ABI instrument can be applied to multiple sensors on multiple satellite platforms.
