A simplified Suomi NPP VIIRS dust detection algorithm
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2017Abstract Due to the complex characteristics of dust and sparse ground-based monitoring stations, dust monitoring is facing severe challenges, especially in dust storm-prone areas. Aim at constructing a high-precision dust storm detection model, a pixel database, consisted of dusts over a variety of typical feature types such as cloud, vegetation ...

Comparison of S-NPP VIIRS and PLEIADES lunar observations
SPIE Proceedings, 2015The first VIIRS instrument was launched on-board the S-NPP satellite in October 2011. It has a total of 15 reflective solar bands (RSB), which include a day-night band (DNB). The VIIRS RSB are calibrated each orbit by an on-board solar diffuser and regularly scheduled lunar observations.

Lunar Calibration and Performance for S-NPP VIIRS Reflective Solar Bands
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2016The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has successfully operated for more than three years since its launch in October 2011. Fifteen of the 22 VIIRS spectral bands are in the reflective solar spectral region, covering wavelengths from 0.41 to 2.3 $\mu\mbox{m}$ .

S-NPP VIIRS instrument telemetry and calibration data trend study
SPIE Proceedings, 2015The Suomi National Polar Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) employs a large number of temperature and voltage sensors (telemetry points) to monitor instrument health and performance. We have collected data and built tools to study telemetry and calibration parameters trends. The telemetry points are organized
