NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Cloud Cover Layers (CCL)
ABI-L2-CCL
The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Cloud Cover Layers (CCL) product contains estimates of cloud fraction between predefined atmospheric levels, as well as, the total cloud fraction at a specified spatial resolution. There are five flight levels of cloud fractions classified as low, middle, and high clouds. The 5 layers defined in feet are: surface to 5000, 5000 to 10000, 10000 to 18000, 18000 to 24000, and 24000 to top of the atmosphere. The horizontal spatial resolution of the products are 10km for full disk and CONUS, and 4km for mesoscale.

Purpose | Forecasters can use this information to determine areas of cloud growth and likelihood of precipitation. Other operational applications of this product include its use in aviation Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs), supplementing upper-level cloud information to the ground-based Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), and initialization of clouds in numerical weather prediction models. |
