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 ...

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 ...

On-Orbit Calibration and Performance of NOAA-20 VIIRS Reflective Solar Bands

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2022
The NOAA-20 (N20) satellite was launched on November 18, 2017 carrying the second Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument. Immediately following the launch, the VIIRS passed a series of intensive calibration and validation tests, after which regular calibration and operation activities have continued successfully for more than ...

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 ...

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.

Update on SNPP and NOAA-20 VIIRS day/night band stray light correction

Earth Observing Systems XXV, 2020
The VIIRS Day/Night Band (DNB) sensors onboard NOAA-20 and SNPP satellites, being 50 minutes apart along the same orbit, provide nighttime imagery of clouds, nocturnal lights, aurora etc., and have been used for a variety of studies involving both geophysical and socio-economic activities.

Development and validation of NOAA’s 20-year Global Wave Ensemble reforecast

Weather and Forecasting
A 20-yr wave reforecast was generated based on the NOAA Global Ensemble Forecast System, version 12. It was produced using the same setup as the NCEP’s operational GEFSv12 wave component. The reforecast comprises five members with 1 cycle per day and a forecast range of 16 days. Once a week, it expands to 35 days and 11 members.

Early Calibration and Performance Assessments of NOAA-20 VIIRS Thermal Emissive Bands

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2019
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor aboard the NOAA-20 (previously JPSS-1) spacecraft has successfully operated since its launch in November, 2017. Similar to the first VIIRS instrument on the Suomi-National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) spacecraft, the data are collected in 22 spectral bands that are calibrated by a set of

Comparison of RO-Estimated ATMS Biases Between NOAA-20 and S-NPP

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)-1 satellite, also known as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-20, was successfully launched onto a sun-synchronous orbit on November 18, 2017. One of the instruments carried on NOAA-20 is the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS).
