Description:

This article presents an improved radiance limit verification and saturation rollover flagging method for the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) reflective solar band (RSB) and thermal emissive band (TEB) sensor data records (SDRs). Platform (satellite)-dependent radiance limits are introduced to account for the different radiometric characteristics of the VIIRS onboard the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-20 (NOAA-20) satellites. Two reference band-based tests are added for better saturation rollover flagging. Evaluation results using NOAA-20 and S-NPP reprocessed and on-orbit SDRs indicate that saturation rollover flagging can be significantly improved. To date, the improved scheme of saturation rollover flagging is applied only to NOAA-20 and S-NPP M6. The application of this scheme to other RSB and TEB bands can be achieved by updating the Quality Assurance lookup table. Moreover, the issue of radiance and brightness temperature mismatch for NOAA-20 TEBs is also resolved. A VIIRS SDR algorithm code change for the improved method has been implemented in the NOAA operational processing for NOAA-20 and S-NPP since March 25, 2019. It can also be applied to the VIIRS onboard the future Joint Polar Satellite System satellites (J2–J4).
