The VIIRS Cirrus Reflectance Algorithm

open access: yesSensors, 2023
The VIIRS instrument (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) on board the SNPP (Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership) satellite contains 11 narrow channels (M1–M11) in the 0.4–2.5 μm solar spectral region. The M9 channel is specifically designed for detecting thin cirrus clouds.

VIIRS/J1 polarization narrative [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2015
The VIS/NIR bands polarization sensitivity of Joint Polar Satellite Sensor 1 (JPSS1) Visible/Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument was measured using a broadband source. While polarization sensitivity for bands M5-M7, I1, and I2 was less than 2.5%, the maximum polarization sensitivity for bands M1, M2, M3, and M4 was measured to be 6.4%,
