Early Radiometric Assessment of NOAA-21 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Reflective Solar Bands Using Vicarious Techniques

Remote Sensing
The VIIRS instrument on the JPSS-2 (renamed NOAA-21 upon reaching orbit) spacecraft was launched in November 2022, making it the third sensor in the VIIRS series, following those onboard the SNPP and NOAA-20 spacecrafts, which are operating nominally. As
