Paper Abstract
VIIRS thermal emissive bands (TEB) calibration data (blackbody and space counts) have been analyzed. The analysis
results indicate that the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) TEB is stable and exceeds the specification.
VIIRS Blackbody temperature is stable, too. The 6 platinum resistance thermometers (PRT) are also stable, except for
the 3rd and 6th PRT have a periodic variation of 50 mK. Using the calibration data during the Blackbody temperature
cool down and warm up, we found that noise equivalent deviation of temperatures (NEdT) varies with the Blackbody
temperature. We developed a model that can predict the scene temperature dependent NEdT for the VIIRS M15 band.
Comparisons between the VIIRS and other sensors such as AVHRR, MODIS and CrIS demonstrated that VIIRS TEB
agrees generally with those sensors.
