Abstract:
The goal of this proposal is to develop a prototype active fire product and a production system for the NPP Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIRSS) to ensure continuity with the data record from the NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). We will undertake the following tasks: 1. Complete and document the evaluation of the utility of the NPP VIIRS Fire ARP and determine alternative approaches and additional processing needed to use the VIIRS data to extend the MODIS Active Fire ESDR; 2. Perform an intercomparison between the MODIS, VIIRS and forthcoming ESA Sentinel 3 SLSTR (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) fire products; 3. Develop a prototype production system for the VIIRS active fire product within the NASA LANCE-MODIS data system and establish a pathway for the transition of the processing system for an operational VIIRS active fire product to NOAA; and 4. Continue sensor evaluation and advocacy for necessary modifications on future JPSS VIIRS sensors. The proposing team has led the development of the MODIS active fire product suite and is closely associated with the NASA MODIS Science Team. We will develop an end-to-end approach for product development, prototyping and transition, building on the success of the NASA Land PEATE, Rapid Response and LANCE-MODIS systems.
