VIIRS Nightfire: Satellite Pyrometry at Night
The Nightfire algorithm detects and characterizes sub-pixel hot sources using multispectral data collected globally, each night, by the Suomi National Polar Partnership (NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The spectral bands utilized span visible, near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), and mid-wave infrared (MWIR). The primary detection band is in the SWIR, centere...
متن کاملAssessment of scan-angle dependent radiometric bias of Suomi-NPP VIIRS day/night band from night light point source observations
The low gain stage of VIIRS Day/Night Band (DNB) on Suomi-NPP is calibrated using onboard solar diffuser. The calibration is then transferred to the high gain stage of DNB based on the gain ratio determined from data collected along solar terminator region. The calibration transfer causes increase of uncertainties and affects the accuracy of the low light radiances observed by DNB at night. Sin...
متن کاملOcean Dynamics Observed by VIIRS Day/Night Band Satellite Observations
Three cases of Day/Night Band (DNB) observations of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) are explored for applications to assess the ocean environment and monitor ocean dynamics. An approach to use the ratio between the target radiance and the reference radiance was developed in order to better assess the ocean diurna...
متن کاملOn-orbit Calibration and Performance of S-NPP VIIRS DNB
The S-NPP VIIRS instrument has successfully operated since its launch in October 2011. The VIIRS Day-Night Band (DNB) is a panchromatic channel covering wavelengths from 0.5 to 0.9 m that is capable of observing Earth scenes during both day and nighttime orbits at a spatial resolution of 750 m. To cover the large dynamic range, the DNB operates at low, mid, or high gain stages, and it uses an ...
متن کاملCharacterize VIIRS DNB Calibration Coefficients to Improve its Radiometric Performance
The USGS ROLO model predicts the top-of-the atmosphere lunar irradiance as a function of lunar phase and libration angles over the spectral range from 350 nm to 2350 nm. As demonstrated with SeaWiFS, by measuring the lunar irradiance on a routine basis and comparing the measurements with the ROLO model, the relative trending of a satellite sensor band’s responsivity can be achieved with uncerta...
