The evolving calibration and validation (cal/val) maturity of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R-Series (GOES-R) products is desc
ribed by three levels: Beta, Provisional, and Full validation. Once Beta Maturity of the L1b products is achieved, the Level 2+ will progress toward Beta maturity. Further levels of maturity require additional activities that can continue over a longer time period than the Beta validation process. A detailed description of the three product maturity levels is given in Table 1.
Product analysis are sufficient to communicate product performance to users relative to expectations. The assessment and declaration of a product’s maturity level is performed during the Peer Stakeholder–Product Validation Review . At each PS-PVR, the status of the products will be presented by members of the cal/val science teams. For L2+ products, Beta maturity PS-PVRs are held in close proximity with and prior to Operations Handover.The GOES-R Peer Stakeholder - Product Validation Review for ABI L1b and CMI Provisional Maturity was held on June 1, 2017.
Users of the GOES-16 ABI L1B data bear responsibility for inspecting the data and understanding the known caveats prior to use. Below is the list of caveats that have been identified and are under analysis. Solutions are in development and testing:Band-to-band co-registration errors may be up to 8 km. Larger errors occur between bands from the three groups of bands .Image striping may occur across all 16 bands.
The kappa0 value reported in the product is inconsistent with the correct kappa0 value applied to the reflectance factors.On occasion, the start time of a single band file is different from the other bands by 0.1 seconds.While the GOES-16 ABI L1b and CMI data have reached provisional validation, the data from GOES-16 are still considered preliminary and are undergoing validation testing.

A scalable and user-friendly platform for physicists to carry out advanced quantum experiments, cheaplyQuantum computers can solve certain computational problems much faster than ordinary computers by using specific quantum properties. The basic building blocks of such machines are called quantum-bits or qubits. Qubits can be realized using several physical platforms such as nuclear spins, trapped ions, cold atoms, photons, and using superconducting Josephson circuits.
