Illuminating the Capabilities of the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2013 Daytime measurements of reflected sunlight in the visible spectrum have been a staple of Earth-viewing radiometers since the advent of the environmental satellite platform. At night, these same optical-spectrum sensors have traditionally been limited to thermal infrared emission, which contains relatively poor information content for many important ...

Sustainability, 2023 Forest fire regimes are changing as a function of increasing global weather extremes, socioeconomic development, and land use change. It is appropriate to use long-term time series satellite observations to better understand forest fire regimes. However, many studies that have analyzed the spatiotemporal characteristics of forest fires based on fire ...

Overview of NASA's MODIS and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) snow-cover Earth System Data Records [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2017 Knowledge of the distribution, extent, duration and timing of snowmelt is critical for characterizing the Earth's climate system and its changes. As a result, snow cover is one of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) essential climate variables (
