Assessment of S-NPP VIIRS On-Orbit Radiometric Calibration and Performance [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 The VIIRS instrument on board the S-NPP spacecraft has successfully operated for more than four years since its launch in October 2011. Many VIIRS environmental data records (EDR) have been continuously generated from its sensor data records (SDR) with improved quality, enabling a wide range of applications in support of users in both the operational ...

Spatial Downscaling of Suomi NPP–VIIRS Image for Lake Mapping [PDF]
Water, 2017 Capturing the dynamics of a lake-water area using remotely sensed images has always been an essential task. Most of the fine spatial resolution data are unsuitable for this purpose because of their low temporal resolution and limited scene coverage.

Suomi NPP VIIRS day‐night band on‐orbit performance [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres, 2013 AbstractThe Suomi National Polar‐Orbiting Partnership (NPP) launched on 28 October 2011 hosts the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor. The VIIRS sensor includes a day‐night band (DNB) that covers almost 7 orders of magnitude in its dynamic range from full sunlit scenes to lunar‐illuminated clouds. The DNB is panchromatic and covers
