Abstract:
This is a continuation proposal which addresses the Surface Reflectance IP (intermediate product) and Aerosol Environmental Data Records (EDRs) as relevant to atmospheric correction over land for the VIIRS instrument. We propose to continue analysis of the VIIRS algorithms and codes, and take advantage of the developed AERONET-based Surface Reflectance Validation Network (ASRVN) to conduct EDR/CDR Assessment. We will also use ASRVN to develop methodology for assessment of the long-term sensor calibration stability and for vicarious cross-calibration of sensors on different orbits. These methods will be prototyped with two MODIS instruments on Terra and Aqua, and will later be applied to VIIRS data to ensure consistency between VIIRS and MODIS and between different VIIRS instruments.
