ON-ORBIT SPECIAL TESTING OF NOAA-20/JPSS-l ATMS

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
The second Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) recently launched November 2017 on the Joint Polar Satellite System-l satellite (JPSS-l), now re-named NOAA-20. It joins the first ATMS flight unit aboard the Suomi NPP (S-NPP) satellite, as well as older sounders-the Advanced Microwave Sounding Units A & B (AMSU-A/B) and Microwave Humidity ...

SNPP and NOAA-20 VIIRS on-orbit geolocation trending and improvements

Earth Observing Systems XXV, 2020
Two Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensors have been in operations for more than 8.5 and 2.5 years since they were launched in October 2011 on SNPP satellite and in November 2017 on NOAA-20 satellite, respectively. These are two satellites in the Join Polar Satellite System (JPSS) constellation, of which Suomi National Polar-orbiting

Performance of NOAA-20 VIIRS Solar Diffuser and Solar Diffuser Stability Monitor

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021
Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) radiometrically calibrates its reflective solar bands (RSBs) primarily through a sunlit onboard solar diffuser (SD). The sunlit SD provides a known radiance under the condition that the absolute product of the SD screen transmittance and the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) along ...

Spectral Calibration of NOAA-20 OMPS Sensor Data Record

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
The NOAA-20 Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) is one of the five instruments in the US Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program. Like the first OMPS instrument [1],[2], the N20 OMPS contains two advanced nadir viewing hyper-spectral instruments, the Nadir Profiler and the Nadir Mapper, to track the health of the ozone layer via measurements ...

Performance of the SNPP and NOAA-20 CrIS Sensor Data Record Products

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
In this work, the current performance of the calibrated Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) Cross-track Infrared Sensor (CrIS) observations is reported. The CrIS instrument is currently on-board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) and NOAA-20 spacecraft, and planned for the JPSS-2, -3 and -4 satellites.

Comparison of ATMS Striping Noise Between NOAA-20 and S-NPP

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
The S-NPP ATMS channels have across-track striping noise, which can see explicitly in all channels from pitch maneuver observations and upper air temperature-sounding channels by the NWP O-B fields. Such a striping noise is also seen in NWP O-B fields of upper air temperature sounding channels from ATMS onboard NOAA-20.

Initial calibration activities and performance assessments of NOAA-20 VIIRS

Earth Observing Missions and Sensors: Development, Implementation, and Characterization V, 2018
The second VIIRS instrument was launched on-board the NOAA-20 (formerly JPSS-1) satellite onNovember 18, 2017. It was designed and built with the same performance requirements as the first VIIRSon-board the S-NPP launched on October 28, 2011. Currently, the NOAA-20 is orbiting the Earth in thesame plane as the S-NPP but separated in time and space by ...

NOAA-20 VIIRS reflective solar bands on-orbit calibration

Sensors, Systems, and Next-Generation Satellites XXIII, 2019
The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has been in orbit for more than one and a half years. VIIRS has 22 bands, among which 14 are reflective solar bands (RSBs) covering a spectral range from 0.410 to 2.250 μm. The RSBs are calibrated on-orbit using an onboard solar diffuser (SD), whose on-orbit degradation is tracked by an ...

NOAA-20 OMPS Sensor Data Record from Early Orbit Operation

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
The NOAA-20 Ozone Mapping Profiler Suite (OMPS) is the second Ultraviolet (UV) sensor suite in the US Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program. The sensor suite was launched aboard the NOAA-20 spacecraft on Nov. 18, 2017. Like the first OMPS instrument which is flying on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership spacecraft (S-NPP), the NOAA-20 ...
