This page contains a preliminary version of a revised SHyMet Instructional course with a focus on the 16 ABI Bands. The links are for the Introduction, and there is one link for each of the 16 bands. (If a band is not here -- it means the module is still being created).

This link goes to Tim Schmit's List of GOES-R-related Links. You can find just about anything there.
