Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite serves as a reference manual and text for VIIRS imagery, especially for those interested in the interpretation of clouds over global background conditions.

Features:

• Offers an easily understood approach to the theoretical basis for signature of clouds and various backgrounds in imagery
• Demonstrates the theoretical basis for VIIRS signatures with numerous examples of imagery collected from satellite systems
• Provides the basis for additional versions of the book as new applications are found for the imagery

Contents

• NPOESS System Overview
• Theoretical Basis for Manual Cloud Analysis
• Instrument Characteristics
• Principles in Image Interpretation
• Multicolor Composites
• Implications of VIIRS Data for Automated Cloud Analysis
• Overview of Potential Non-meteorological Uses of VIIRS Meteorological Satellite Data
