The Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is the
next-generation multispectral imaging instrument to fly on US
operational, polar-orbiting meteorological satellites. VIIRS will
gather data across 22 spectral bands and be used to create products
for a variety of applications including weather forecasting and
climate change studies. VIIRS consolidates the best features of
heritage instruments, including near-constant resolution and
nighttime visible imagery. Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer
Suite: A New Operational Cloud Imager provides the first
comprehensive guide on the design and exploitation of cloud data
collected by the VIIRS. Expert researchers Hutchison and Cracknell
discuss the fundamental principles necessary to interpret surface
and cloud features in multispectral meteorological satellite
imagery. They begin by tracing the evolution of satellite
meteorology and detailing previous instruments on which VIIRS is
based. Next, they examine the user requirements for VIIRS data
products and the studies used to convert these requirements into
sensor design parameters. The focus then shifts to the principles
and techniques used to exploit VIIRS cloud data. The book ends with
a comprehensive discussion of automated processes to retrieve
3-dimensional cloud fields from a variety of algorithms, some of
which were developed for the VIIRS. Supplying material for both
experienced researchers and those new to the field, Visible
Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite is a must-read for anyone
interested in evaluating and using the data gathered from the VIIRS
project.
