Journal ArticleDOI
Early On-Orbit Performance of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Onboard the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Satellite
TL;DR: An assessment of the sensor initial on-orbit calibration and performance based on the efforts from the VIIRS-SDR team is presented, and known anomalies, issues, and future calibration efforts, including the long-term monitoring, and intercalibration are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiyear On-Orbit Calibration and Performance of Terra MODIS Reflective Solar Bands
Xiaoxiong Xiong,Junqiang Sun,William L. Barnes,Vincent V. Salomonson,Joseph A. Esposito,H. Erives,B. Guenther +6 more
TL;DR: Results from the SDSM on-orbit observations show that the SD bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) also has a similar wavelength-dependent degradation, with the largest degradation appearing at the shortest wavelengths.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of MODIS radiometric calibration and characterization
TL;DR: The MODIS is a major advance over the previous generation of sensors in terms of its spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions as mentioned in this paper, and is one of the key instruments for NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS), currently operating on both the Terra and Aqua satellites.
