An update on NAST-I results from SNPP airborne campaign underflights [PDF]
Since launch of the Suomi NPP (SNPP) satellite in late 2011, two airborne field campaigns have been conducted with a primary focus on SNPP instrument and data product calibration / validation: 1) mid-latitude flights based out of Palmdale, CA during May 2013 (SNPP-1), and 2) flights over Greenland during March 2015 while based out of Keflavik, Iceland (

Generating Global Products of LAI and FPAR From SNPP-VIIRS Data: Theoretical Background and Implementation [PDF]
Leaf area index (LAI) and fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) absorbed by vegetation have been successfully generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data since early 2000. As the Visible Infrared Imaging

Screening for snow/snowmelt in SNPP VIIRS aerosol optical depth algorithm [PDF]
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) spacecraft provides validated daily global aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals; however, a close examination of the VIIRS aerosol product identified residual snow and snowmelt contamination, resulting generally in an overestimation of
