  1. VIIRS True Color Atmospheric Correction Updates Steve Miller 14 June 2012

  2. Overview • VIIRS natural color processing commenced shortly after receipt of first-light data. • To expedite initial product suite, the atmospheric corrections necessary for high-quality true color imagery were adopted from the legacy MODIS processing. • The MODIS Blue/Green/Red bands (466, 554, 646 nm) are slightly different than VIIRS (488, 555, 672 nm). • Associated rayleigh optical depths are different, leading to erroneous corrections when applying the MODIS coefficients and tables to VIIRS data. • Correct handling of VIIRS requires a re-calculation of the necessary components, including: Fo, tau_ray, tau_ozone, tau_oxygen, tau_watvap. • Codes adapted from SEADAS software (Eric Vermote and Norman Kuring). • Monochromatic calculation used here (no band weighting), with values for various properties interpolated linearly from the original SeaWiFS band values. Sufficient for qualitative imagery product.

The following slides show before/after corrections applied (must run in slide-show mode to toggle imagery).

  7. Next Steps • Evaluate the stability and performance at various sites. • Apply these new corrections to the VIIRS dust enhancement prototype. • Develop an I-band true color product based on re-bin of M-bands to 375 m resolution using similar techniques as MODIS 250 m.
