ABI Bands as of March 2, 2005
	
The 16 bands are set as defined in the PoRD.  The PoRD can be found on the web on
the ABI documentation page: http://goespoes.gsfc.nasa.gov/abihome.htm - this readme
file was created March 2, 2005 and the most recent version of the PORD is dated
May 3, 2004 and DOES NOT contain the latest bandwidth information.  We know these
bandwidths are going to change because of information from Tim Schmit.

The following bands were changed from the last time this was done (23Jan2004):
Band 3	FROM 0.84-0.88 (0.86) 	TO 0.846-0.885 (0.865)
Band 4	FROM 1.365-1.395 (1.38)	TO 1.371-1.386 (1.378)
Band 6	FROM 2.235-2.285 (2.26)	TO 2.225-2.275 (2.25)

The spectral response functions are named for a "Gaussian Boxcar Hybrid" function.
They are created using code from Mike Griffin at MIT Lincoln Labs.  The curve is
gaussian, forced to go through the 50% points (lower and upper wavelengths) and
the top of the curve is flattened out like a boxcar function, hence the name.  v1 
stands for version 1 (the current version of that algorithm on February 18, 2004
is the same as that of October 15, 2003).  Channel numbers are not officially stated
in the PoRD, but CIMSS has assumed a numbering convention for ease of use in software;
the bands are numbered by increasing central wavelength (same convention as used on
the current GOES series of imagers, but opposite the current sounder).

The files contain 2 columns.  Column 1 is wavenumber, column 2 is relative
response (response is from 0 to 1).  There are no headers on the files.
