ABI Mesoscale Sectors

The ABI Mesoscale scan sectors are two zoom-in regions measuring 1000 x 1000 km that are adjusted based on current hazards (e.g., severe storms, wildfires). The default Mesoscale 1 and Mesoscale 2 sectors are shown below. To find the locations of the ABI Mesoscale sectors for a given day, consult the map of current/planned locations or the archive of past locations.
