“…The SeaPRISM sensor is annually calibrated by NASA to provide consistency between all ocean color AERONET stations around the globe. The WaveCIS site shows good and consistent matchups with ocean color sensors [24][25][26][27] and it is used for continued validation of the VIIRS sensor. WaveCIS collects measurements daily at 15-to 30-min increments on a continual basis throughout the day.…”

Abstract. Measurements of diurnal changes in ocean color in turbid coastal regions in the Gulf of Mexico were characterized using above water spectral radiometry from a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (aerosol robotic network-WaveCIS CSI-06) site that can provide 8 to 10 observations per day. Satellite capability to detect diurnal changes in ocean color was characterized using hourly overlapping afternoon orbits of the visual infrared imaging radiometer suite (VIIRS) Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership ocean color sensor and validated with in situ observations. The monthly cycle of diurnal changes was investigated for different water masses using VIIRS overlaps. Results showed the capability of satellite observations to monitor hourly color changes in coastal regions that can be impacted by vertical movement of optical layers, in response to tides, resuspension, and river plume dispersion. The spatial variability of VIIRS diurnal changes showed the occurrence and displacement of phytoplankton blooming and decaying processes. The diurnal change in ocean color was above 20%, which represents a 30% change in chlorophyll-a. Seasonal changes in diurnal ocean color for different water masses suggest differences in summer and winter responses to surface processes. The diurnal changes observed using satellite ocean color can be used to define the following: surface processes associated with biological activity, vertical changes in optical depth, and advection of water masses. © The Authors.

“…The VIIRS orbit provides an overlap of the sensor swath so that multiple looks per day and bio-optical products can be collected over the same ocean (Arnone et al, 2013). The overlap between VIIRS sequential orbits is about 100 min and based on the orbital progression.…”

Abstract. The atmospheric transmission is an important parameter affecting the solar radiation and surface thermal radiation. In this paper, MODTRAN radiative transfer model was used to analysis the atmospheric Transmission in middle infrared (MIR) spectrum of VIIRS. We have quantitatively simulated and analyzed the effect of atmospheric profile, aerosol type, visibility, moisture content and observed zenith angle on atmospheric transmittance using the two MIR channels of VIIRS (M12 band and M13-band). The results showed that the transmissivities of the both two middle infrared channels M12 and M13 of VIIRS are influenced by the aerosol type, visibility and observation angle. And the influence of these factors on the M12 channel transmittance are greater impact, in addition, M12 band is strongly influenced by the change of atmospheric profile.
