  • Discover... the Americas with ABI (30 min)

    It seems we are too many in this course for supervised data analysis on GOES imagery. Still we will briefly go through 

    • RGB-products, 
    • how to customize them to your purpose, 
    • what information they convey and 
    • how to read between the data lines.
