Executive Summary The ABI SO2 detection algorithm produces a yes/no SO2 flag
Software Version 4 was delivered in January (2011). The CUTR was completed in January (2011). ATBD (100%) and test datasets are scheduled to be delivered in June (2011).
The SO2 detection algorithm utilizes spectral and spatial information to identify SO2 clouds. Only infrared measurements are used, so the algorithm methodology is day/night consistent.
Validation Datasets: Hyperspectral ultra-violet based retrievals of SO2 total column loading from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI).
Validation studies indicate that the SO2 loading algorithm is meeting the 100% accuracy specification.

Algorithm Description

Algorithm Summary
Input Datasets: 1). ABI channels 8, 10, 11, 14, and 15, 2). Satellite viewing angle, 3). Clear sky radiances and transmittances, 4). Cloud frequency of occurrence LUT
-ratios are calculated to help identify cloud microphysical “anomalies” possibly associated with SO2 absorption.
Cloud objects are constructed from potential SO2 pixels.
Spectral and spatial cloud object statistics are used to determine if all of the pixels that compose a cloud object contain SO2 or do not contain SO2.
A flag indicating the approximate SO2 loading is also produced and stored in the quality flags.

Algorithm Channel Selection
ABI channel 11 coverage
ABI channel 10 coverage
The ABI algorithm utilizes SO2 absorption lines located in the channel 10 (7.3 m) and channel 11 (8.5 m) bands in combination with the lack of SO2 absorption in the 6.2, 11, and 12 m bands to detect SO2 induced spectral anomalies.

Spectral InformationSpectral Information•As in Pavolonis (2010), effective absorption optical depth ratios (-ratios) are used to infer cloud microphysical information.
•Cloud microphysical anomalies (large deviations from theoretical values) are then used to identify potential SO2 contaminated pixels.

Spectral InformationSpectral Information
•The SO2 cloud is characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of large (12, 11) and large (8.5, 11).
•Ice clouds tend to have smaller (8.5, 11) relative to SO2 clouds.
•SO2 clouds tend to have larger (12, 11) relative to liquid water clouds when hydrometeors are co-located with the SO2.

•Ice clouds tend to have smaller (8.5, 11) and (7.3, 11) relative to SO2 clouds.
•Liquid water clouds are often present well below the peak of the 7.3 m weighting function, and hence does not noticeably impact the 7.3 m radiance.

Algorithm Changes from 80% to 100%
Improved SO2 detection in the absence of a strong 7.3 μm signal (8.5 μm signal only).
Improved SO2 detection when SO2 overlaps or is mixed with thick ice cloud (more work is still needed though)
Metadata output added
Quality flags standardized

Validation Approach

Validation ApproachValidation Approach•OMI is a Dutch-Finnish instrument on board the Aura satellite in NASA’s A-Train.
•OMI uses measurements of backscattered solar UV radiation to detect SO2. OMI can detect SO2 at levels less than 1 DU.
•Although OMI is very sensitive to SO2, it only views a given area of earth once daily.
•The MODIS instrument on the Aqua satellite (also in the A-Train) observes the same area as OMI, which allows us to study any SO2
clouds observed by OMI.
The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) is used as “truth”
The ABI SO2 mask is validated as a function of OMI SO2 loading

•The OMI SO2 loading product and the GOES-R proxy data (MODIS or SEVIRI) are matched up in time and re-mapped to the same grid to allow for quantitative comparisons.

SO2 Validation•The ABI SO2 mask is validated as a function of OMI SO2 loading.
•Only scenes that contained SO2 clouds were used so this analysis reflects how the algorithm will perform in relevant situations
•The accuracy is 79% when the OMI SO2 indicates 10 DU or more of SO2.

SO2 Validation•While not required the true skill score was also evaluated.
•The true skill score is 0.59 when the OMI SO2 indicates 10 DU or more of SO2.
•The true skill score is 0.70 when the OMI SO2 indicates 14 DU or more of SO2.

Summary The ABI SO2 Detection algorithm provides a new capability to objectively
detect SO2 clouds, which may be an aviation hazard and impact climate.
The GOES-R AWG SO2 algorithm meets all performance and latency requirements.
The improved spatial and temporal resolution of the ABI, along with a 7.3 um band that is better suited for SO2 detection, will likely lead to improved SO2 detection capabilities (relative to SEVIRI and MODIS).
The 100% ATBD and code will be delivered to the AIT this summer.
Prospects for future improvement: 1). Express results as a probability, not a mask. 2). Correct for high level ice and ash clouds using bands not sensitive to SO2 3). Improve quantitative estimates of SO2 loading and possibly height
