Vicarious calibration of S-NPP/VIIRS day-night band
SPIE Proceedings, 2013The Day Night Band (DNB) of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite provides imagery of clouds and other Earth features over illumination levels ranging from full sunlight to quarter moon.

S-NPP VIIRS On-Orbit Calibration Coefficient Improvements With Yaw Maneuver Reanalysis
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2019On February 15 and 16, 2012, a series of yaw maneuvers was performed on the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) spacecraft for Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) to characterize screen transmission functions and Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDFs). For accurate time-dependent calibration coefficient (or

Operational in-flight calibration of S-NPP VIIRS in the visible using Rayleigh scattering
SPIE Proceedings, 2014The Rayleigh scattering approach to absolute radiometric calibration of satellite optical sensors is investigated for SNPP VIIRS. The vicarious calibration coefficients are obtained by comparing measured and predicted top-ofatmosphere (TOA) reflectance sampled under “favorable” scene conditions, i.e., oceanic areas with stable water optical properties,

NOAA20 and S-NPP VIIRS Land Surface Temperature Product Validation and Inter-Comparison
IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020The enterprise Land Surface Temperature (LST) algorithm has been operationally implemented for Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard both NOAA 20 (N20) and Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite since September, 2019. This study presents the validation of the two LST products.

Reprocessing of S-NPP VIIRS DNB detector gains and dark offsets
Earth Observing Systems XXIV, 2019In this paper, we report a new method for calculating the S-NPP VIIRS Day-Night-Band (DNB) detector dark offsets and gains look-up-tables. During the seven years of S-NPP operation, the NASA VIIRS Characterization Support Team (VCST) has generated detector gain and dark offset calibration coefficients to be used in the DNB L1B Earth view radiance ...

Assessment of S-NPP VIIRS band-to-band registration using Earth-scene features
Earth Observing Systems XXII, 2017The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is currently operating onboard the Suomi National Polarorbiting Partnership (S-NPP) spacecraft. VIIRS records Earth imagery with spectral bands ranging from 0.4 to 12.2 micrometers at a combination of resolutions.

Preliminary JPSS-3 VIIRS Polarization Sensitivity and Comparison with S-NPP, JPSS-1 and ‐2
IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020The Visible-Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) was first launched on-board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) spacecraft in October of 2011. There have been three subsequent builds of the VIIRS sensor for the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program with JPSS-1, ‐2 and ‐3 having launch dates of November 2017, March 2022 and

On-orbit radiometric performance characterization of S-NPP VIIRS reflective solar bands
SPIE Proceedings, 2016It has been nearly four years that the S-NPP was launched. In an effort to improve the VIIRS calibration, VIIRS has undergone a number of major look up table updates during this period. RSB bands such as M1 through M3 suggested higher solar diffuser degradation rate.
