The VIIRS Cirrus Reflectance Algorithm
Sensors, 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.

Crosstalk Effect in SNPP VIIRS
Remote Sensing, 2017 An investigation has been carried out to examine the crosstalk contamination in the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) spacecraft. Prior to this study, the cause of the pronounced striping in Earth View (EV) images and obvious discontinuity in the EV brightness temperature (BT)

Thermal sharpening of VIIRS data
2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016 Thermal Sharpening (TS) is usually referred to techniques widely used in several Earth Observation applications in order to increase the spatial resolution of thermal images. Profiting from the particular design of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor mounted on board of the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP ...

Sensitivity of VIIRS polarization measurements [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2010 The design of an optical system typically involves a sensitivity analysis where the various lens parameters, such as lens spacing and curvatures, to name two parameters, are (slightly) varied to see what, if any, effect this has on the performance and to establish manufacturing tolerances.

VIIRS/J1 polarization narrative [PDF]
SPIE 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%,
