Median Shift Lunar Correction for VIIRS
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2021Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 24-h data are substantially affected by lunar illumination. A new method is proposed to correct this distortion and be able to form a consistent time series. The method has the advantage of being relatively simple in its deployment while at the same time effective.

VIIRS Nightfire: Satellite Pyrometry at Night [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2013 The Nightfire algorithm detects and characterizes sub-pixel hot sources using multispectral data collected globally, each night, by the Suomi National Polar Partnership (NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The spectral bands utilized span visible, near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), and mid-wave infrared (MWIR).

VIIRS on-orbit calibration activities and performance
2013 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - IGARSS, 2013The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) spacecraft was launched on October 28, 2011. The S-NPP is orbiting the Earth in a sun-synchronous plane with nominal 13:30 local equatorial crossing time.

Precise prelaunch radiometric calibration of VIIRs
SPIE Proceedings, 2015The paper presents the new approach that includes technique, scheme and instruments for precise calibration of space-borne and airborne visible infrared imaging radiometers (VIIRs). The key component of this technique is the precise uniform light source based on optically-interconnected integrating spheres.

MODIS and VIIRS geometric performance comparison
2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012The VIIRS instrument was launched on the NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP satellite in October 2011. This instrument is the first of a series of VIIRS instruments meant to continue the operational and long-term measurements of NASA, NOAA and DOD heritage instruments such as the MODIS instruments on the NASA EOS Terra and Aqua satellites and other.

The VIIRS instrument has a polarization sensitivity requirement. There is also a requirement that the instrument's polarization sensitivity and associated phase be measured and the uncertainties in the measured results meet requirements. Performing these measurements is conceptually straight forward.
