Overview
- Data Quality
- Stripes
- Co-alignment between Vis/NIR and AIRS
- Effect Registration between Vis/NIR and
1993 NDVI on cloud detection
- Cloud Detection
- Future Work

Stripes
- Stripes caused by difference of gain and
- ffset between 9 Vis/NIR elements
- In-between element adjustment + vicarious
calibration used to remove stripes
- Remaining small stripes in different
conditions
- Detailed investigation of stripes
characteristics

Stripes Analysis: Preliminary Results
- Suggestion of a non-linear gain and/or
BRDF effects due to scanning geometry
Gautier - Yang AIRS Meeting 9/19/02 12
Registration between Vis/NIR and IR
- Use transition targets to evaluate quality
- f Vis/IR alignment/co-registration
- Investigated E-W and N-S alignment

Preliminary Results
- Very good within accuracy of approach
- Need longer data set over same
transition targets to quantitatively evaluate alignment
Gautier - Yang AIRS Meeting 9/19/02 22
Registration between Vis/NIR and 1993 NDVI
- 1993 NDVI used in computation of cloud
threshold as a surface type (reflectance) indicator
- Preliminary analysis=>mis-alignment
between NDVI 1993 and AIRS Vis/NIR NDVI
- Use transition targets to evaluate Vis/IR
alignment/co-registration
- Investigate E-W and N-S alignment

Impact on Cloud Detection
Gautier - Yang AIRS Meeting 9/19/02 29
Registration between Vis/NIR and 1993 NDVI : Preliminary Results
- Very good N-S alignment
- 1-2 Vis/NIR pixel E-W misalignment
- Found some changes related to time
difference between 2002 and 1993
- Will be developing AIRS NDVI soon
Gautier - Yang AIRS Meeting 9/19/02 30
Vis/NIR Cloud Detection
- Based on cloud threshold
- Cloud threshold: parameters adjusted to
preliminary calibration
– Visual assessment of cloud detection very good
- Some issues due to 1993 NDVI
- Comparison with spatial inhomogeneity
approach results

Cloud Detection : Preliminary Results
- Very good visual agreement
- Impact of 1-2 Vis/NIR pixel E-W misalignment
and changes related to time difference between 2002 and 1993 will be addressed by AIRS NDVI soon
- Improvements based on spatial homogeneity
approach

Near-term Activities
- Cloud flag over land evaluation
- Validation of cloud detection against
local meteorological data and ARM/CART data
- Improved validation of geo-location and
co-registration
- Vicarious calibration
Gautier - Yang AIRS Meeting 9/19/02 48
Vicarious Calibration
- Surface observation-based calibration
suggests some surface BRDF effects that need to be taken into account
- Development of BRDF model based on
satellite observations
- Adaptation of UCSB RTM BRDF model
to Railroad Valley surface conditions
Gautier - Yang AIRS Meeting 9/19/02 49
Longer-term Activities
- Use combined Vis/NIR and IR channels
for low cloud detection
- IR Spatial Inhomogeneity vs. Vis/NIR
cloud threshold
- Cloud fraction comparisons
- Vis/NIR spectral response function
- Surface radiation budget modeling
- Land surface spectral emissivity
