NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Clear Sky Mask (ACM)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
The Clear Sky Mask product contains an image in the form of a binary cloud mask that identifies pixels within a coverage region as clear or cloudy. The production of the clear sky mask is an important step in the processing of many other GOES-R Level 2+ products that use the information generated in the production of the clear sky mask to determine the presence of cloud. The product includes data quality information for the binary cloud mask data values for on-earth pixels. The binary cloud mask value is a dimensionless quantity. The Clear Sky Mask product image is provided at 2 km resolution on the ABI fixed grid for Full Disk, CONUS, and Mesoscale coverage regions. Product data is produced for geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 90 degrees for both daytime and nighttime conditions.
