“…This facilitated the calibration of satellite's low radiance using 6SV model [37]. The high-resolution model, SCIATRAN, has been used in low-light radiometric calibration studies at Dome C in Antarctica, the Railroad Valley Playa (RVP) desert region in the USA, and the Dunhuang radiometric correction field [19,20,38]. Meanwhile, the mid-resolution model, MODTRAN, operating in lunar mode, has been used to assess the accuracy of the in-orbit radiometric calibration of low-light satellites and to simulate lunar radiation transmission [39].…”

“…The reflectance at the top of the atmosphere of the calibration area obtained by the lunar irradiance model (MT2009) showed good consistency with the corresponding product of Hyperion, with a radiometric calibration uncertainty of about 8%. Hu et al [19] compared the difference between simulated TOA and actual observed radiance after a year of observations in the Dome C region of Antarctica and the RVP desert region of the United States. The results indicated average relative errors of −7.14% and −4.14%, respectively.…”

The relatively stable lunar illumination may be used to realize radiometric calibration under low light. However, there is still an insufficient understanding of the accuracy of models and the influence of parameters when conducting research on low-light radiometric calibration. Therefore, this study explores the applicability of three atmospheric radiative transfer models under different nighttime conditions. The simulation accuracies of three nighttime atmospheric radiative transfer models (Night-SCIATRAN, Night-MODTRAN, and Night-6SV) were evaluated using the visible-infrared imaging radiometer suite day/night band (VIIRS/DNB) data. The results indicate that Night-MODTRAN has the highest simulation accuracy under DNB. The consistency between simulated top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance and DNB radiance is approximately 3.1%, and uncertainty is 2.5%. This study used Night-MODTRAN for parameter sensitivity analysis. The results indicate that for the lunar phase angle, aerosol optical depth, surface reflectance, lunar zenith angle, satellite zenith angle, and relative azimuth angle, the average change rates are 68%, 100%, 2561%, 75%, 20%, and 0%. This paper can help better understand the performance of models under different atmospheric and geographical conditions, as well as whether existing models can simulate the complex processes of atmospheric radiation.

“…A lunar calibration method for remote sensing satellite sensors using lunar spectral irradiance measurement of the ROLO model has been established by the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey), and has been successfully applied to the GMS-5 (Geostationary Meteorological Satellite) [27,28], GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) [29][30][31], Suomi-NPP [18,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], SeaWIFS (The Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor) [40][41][42][43], and other instruments for on-orbit radiometric calibration and stability monitoring. Fujisada et al [28] calibrated the radiance of the GMS-5 remote sensing sensor based on pairs of GMS-5 lunar observation and ROLO images captured under the same observation conditions.…”

The high-resolution nighttime light (NTL) data of the LuoJia1-01 NTL remote sensing satellite has enriched the available data of NTL remote sensing applications. The radiance calibration used as a reference to convert the digital number (DN) recorded by the nighttime sensor into the radiance of the corresponding ground object is the basic premise to the effective application of the NTL data. Owing to the lack of on-board calibration equipment and the absence of an absolute radiometric calibration light source at night, it is difficult for LuoJia1-01 to carry out on-orbit radiance calibration. The moon, as an exoatmospheric stable radiation source, is widely used for the radiometric calibration of remote sensing satellite sensors and to monitor the stability of the visible and near-infrared sensors. This study, based on lunar observation of the LuoJia1-01 NTL sensor, focused on on-orbit radiometric calibration and included monitoring changes in the nighttime sensor radiometric response for nearly a year by using the Robotic Lunar Observatory (ROLO) lunar irradiance model (Version 311 g). The results showed that: (1) the consistency of the radiometric calibration results based on the ROLO model and the laboratory calibration results of LuoJia1-01 exceeded 90%; (2) the nighttime sensor of LuoJia1-01 radiometric response underwent approximately 6% degradation during the observation period of nearly one year (353 days).
