Abstract

The Visible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite is the next generation visible and infrared sensor slated to fly on the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite and NPOESS preparatory satellite platforms. The twenty two channels featured on VIIRS are derived primarily from two legacy instruments: the NOAA advanced very high resolution Radiometer and Earth Observation System Moderate Resolution Imaging spectroradiometer. The DNB will measure visible radiances from the earth and atmosphere during both day and night portions of the orbit. In comparison to the OLS, some of the VIIRS DNB channel improvements include reduced instances of pixel saturation and smaller instances field of view.
