Comparison of Dust Detection by Using Reflected Solar Bands and Thermal Bands
Advances in Imaging, 2009Dust detection from solar and thermal bands is compared to investigate the performance of each algorithm. Three different algorithms show reasonable consistency to detect dust layer. The consistency increases with aerosol optical depth (AOD).

Assessment of MODIS reflective solar bands calibration stability
Sensors, Systems, and Next-Generation Satellites XXI, 2017Terra and Aqua MODIS instruments have continued to operate normally since their launch in December 1999 and May 2002. MODIS reflective solar bands (RSB) with wavelengths ranging from 0.41 to 2.3 μm are calibrated on-orbit by an on-board solar diffuser (SD) and a solar diffuser stability monitor (SDSM).

The recalibration of FY-3 MERSI reflective solar bands
SPIE Proceedings, 2014Medium Resolution Spectral Imager (MERSI) is a keystone instrument onboard Fengyun-3 (FY-3), the second generation of polar-orbiting meteorological satellites in China. There are three units currently in operation, in which FY- 3A and FY-3C were launched on May 27, 2008 and September 23, 2013, separately, in a sun-synchronous morning orbit with a local

A robust method for determining calibration coefficients for VIIRS reflective solar bands
SPIE Proceedings, 2015This paper presents a robust method for determining the calibration coefficients in polynomial calibration equations, and discusses the corresponding calibration uncertainties. An attenuator method that takes into account all measurements with and without an attenuator screen was used to restrict the impact of the absolute calibration of the light ...
