Polarization sensitivity of Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Flight Unit 1
SPIE Proceedings, 2012This paper describes measured performance of VIIRS Flight unit 1 (F1) in response to variations in linearly polarized light input into the instrument. Measurements and analysis show that VIIRS F1 meets specified polarization sensitivity requirements with maximum measured degree of linear polarization (DoLP) ranging from 0.5% for the M7 band (865 nm ...

The Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a high‐resolution Earth imager of the United States National Polar‐orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). VIIRS has its heritage in three sensors currently collecting imagery of the Earth—the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, the Moderate Resolution Imaging ...

As a panchromatic band, the Day-Night Band (DNB) on National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has a unique capability of observing very low radiances down to Nano-watt [cm−1 sr−1] level, because of its three different focal planes with gain stages. The DNB radiometric calibration is based on
