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.

NOAA-20 VIIRS Reflective Solar bands on-Orbit Calibration Using a Hybrid Approach

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has been in orbit for more than two and a half years. VIIRS has 22 bands, among which 14 are reflective solar bands (RSBs) covering a spectral range from 0.41 to 2.25 µm. The RSBs are calibrated on-orbit using an onboard solar diffuser (SD), on-orbit degradation of which is tracked by an ...

NOAA-20 VIIRS Reflective Solar Band Postlaunch Calibration Updates Two Years In-Orbit

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2020
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) was launched on November 18, 2017, and it has been operational for more than two years and follows the first Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series of the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) mission.

NOAA-20 VIIRS initial on-orbit radiometric calibration using scheduled lunar observations

Earth Observing Systems XXIV, 2019
The scheduled lunar observations by the NOAA-20 VIIRS provide an independent source of calibration for the Reflective Solar Bands (RSB). Spacecraft roll maneuver is typically conducted to ensure that the moon observation is recorded at the Space View (SV) scan angle.

Characterization and correction of stray light for NOAA-20 VIIRS day/night band

Earth Observing Missions and Sensors: Development, Implementation, and Characterization V, 2018
The Day/Night Band (DNB) onboard NOAA-20 is a continuation of the heritage nighttime imaging capability on SNPP VIIRS/DNB and supports a wide range of applications such as short-term weather prediction, disaster response and numerous socioeconomic applications.

Initial radiometric calibration status and performance of NOAA-20 VIIRS reflective solar bands

Earth Observing Missions and Sensors: Development, Implementation, and Characterization V, 2018
The Earth-observing Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NOAA-20 satellite (formerly the Joint Polar Satellite System-1) is the follow-on sensor to the early launched VIIRS on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite.

JPSS-1/NOAA-20 VIIRS Day-Night Band Prelaunch Radiometric Calibration and Performance

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2019
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board the first Joint Polar-Orbiting Satellite System series 1 (JPSS-1) has a panchromatic, three gain stage, day–night band (DNB) capable of imaging the Earth under illumination conditions ranging from reflected moonlight to daytime scenes. The DNB has four charged-coupled devices (CCDs) with 32

Linking SNPP and NOAA-20 Cris Toward Measurement Consistency and Climate Data Records

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
Quantifying the radiometric difference and creating a calibration link between SNPP and NOAA-20 CrIS are crucial for creating CrIS long-term climate data records and establishing the space-based calibration standard. This study uses two methods (direct and indirect comparison) to comprehensively evaluate the radiometric consistence and differences ...

Lunar calibration and performance assessments of the NOAA-20 VIIRS reflective solar bands

Earth Observing Systems XXIV, 2019
The Moon has played a vital role in the radiometric stability monitoring of NASAs Earth Observing System sensors, such as MODIS on the Terra and Aqua spacecrafts. The lunar calibration methodologies developed for the two MODIS instruments were later extended to apply to the VIIRS instrument on the Suomi-NPP spacecraft. The follow-on VIIRS instrument on
