Abstract :
VIIRS thermal emissive bands (TEB) have been analyzed. The analysis results indicate the VIIRS TEB is stable and exceeds the specification. Comparisons between the VIIRS and other sensors such as AVHRR, MODIS and CrIS demonstrated that VIIRS TEB agrees well with those sensors. Using Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM), developed at U.S. Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA), we found that M12 band image striping at day time over a uniform ocean was caused by the difference of sensor azimuthal angles among detectors.
