Occurrence frequencies and regional variations in Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) global active fires

Global Change Biology, 2020
AbstractActive fires are considered to be the key contributor to, and critical consequence of, climate change. Quantifying the occurrence frequency and regional variations in global active fires is significant for assessing carbon cycling, atmospheric chemistry, and postfire ecological effects.

A multilayer cloud detection algorithm for the Suomi-NPP Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2019
A new multilayer (ML) cloud detection algorithm based on three shortwave infrared (SWIR) and two longwave infrared (LWIR) channels is developed and applied to the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi-NPP satellite. The algorithm identifies ML clouds, i.e., ice clouds overlying water clouds, based on satellite multispectral

Spatial and temporal variation of Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)-derived aerosol optical thickness over Shandong, China

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2014
Spatial and temporal variations in regional aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 550 nm over Shandong Province, China, based on one year’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data were investigated. The regional forest background (FB) annual mean AOT was 0.467 with a standard deviation of 0.339, which was much higher than the North America ...

Validation of Land Surface Temperature products derived from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) using ground-based and heritage satellite measurements

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2014
Abstract Thermal infrared satellite observations of the Earth's surface are widely used to retrieve Land Surface Temperature (LST) and monitor LST changes around the world. Since January 2012, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) has provided daily observations of LST with

NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on-Orbit Band-To-Band Registration Estimation for Reflective Solar Band (RSB) Using Scheduled Lunar Collections

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) was launched on November 18, 2017 and has been in operation for about one year. It has 14 Reflective Solar Bands (RSBs) covering a spectral range of 412nm to 2.25 um at two spatial resolutions at nadir 750m for Moderate resolution (M) bands ...

Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and uncertainty in the ocean color calibration methodology

SPIE Proceedings, 2015
During the first few years of the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) mission, the NASA Ocean Color calibration team continued to improve on their approach to the on-orbit calibration of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).
