This study used the data from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on GOES-16 and GOES-17 to calibrate the visible channels on the GOES-IP (GOES-8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, and -15) sensors (1994\u20132021). The visible channels are dominant sources of information for many of the essential climate variables from these sensors. The technique developed uses the stability of the integrated full-disk reflectance to define a calibration target that is applied to past sensors to generate new calibration equations. These equations are found to be stable and agree well with other established techniques. Given the lack of assumptions and ease of application, this technique offers a new calibration method that can be used to complement existing techniques used by the operational space agencies with the GSICS Project. In addition, its simplicity allows for its application to data that existed prior to many of the reference data employed in current calibration methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14153630","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,1]],"date-time":"2022-08-01T04:04:00Z","timestamp":1659326640000},"page":"3630","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Using GOES-R ABI Full-Disk Reflectance as a Calibration Source for the GOES Imager Visible Channels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Andrew K.","family":"Heidinger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GeoXO Program Office, NOAA\/NESDIS, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Foster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS), Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth R.","family":"Knapp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), NOAA\/NESDIS, Asheville, NC 28801, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy J.","family":"Schmit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), NOAA\/NESDIS, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"33","DOI":"10.15191\/nwajom.2018.0604","article-title":"Applications of the 16 spectral bands on the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI)","volume":"6","author":"Schmit","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
