A Framework for Estimating Clear-Sky Atmospheric Total Precipitable Water (TPW) from VIIRS/S-NPP

Remote Sensing, 2019
Atmospheric water vapor content or total precipitable water (TPW) is a highly variable atmospheric constituent, yet it remains one of the meteorological parameters that is most difficult to characterize accurately.

Suomi NPP VIIRS Imagery evaluation [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2014
AbstractThe Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) combines the best aspects of both civilian and military heritage instrumentation. VIIRS has improved capabilities over its predecessors: a wider swath width and much higher spatial resolution at swath edge.

Automated VIIRS Boat Detection Based on Machine Learning and Its Application to Monitoring Fisheries in the East China Sea

Remote Sensing, 2023
Remote sensing is essential for monitoring fisheries. Optical sensors such as the day–night band (DNB) of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) have been a crucial tool for detecting vessels fishing at night.

Intercomparison of MODIS AQUA and VIIRS I-Band Fires and Emissions in an Agricultural Landscape—Implications for Air Pollution Research

Remote Sensing, 2018
Quantifying emissions from crop residue burning is crucial as it is a significant source of air pollution. In this study, we first compared the fire products from two different sensors, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 375 m active ...

California wildfire spread derived using VIIRS satellite observations and an object-based tracking system

Scientific Data, 2022
Changing wildfire regimes in the western US and other fire-prone regions pose considerable risks to human health and ecosystem function. However, our understanding of wildfire behavior is still limited by a lack of data products that systematically ...
