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

BRDF effects due to scanning geometry

Preliminary Results

  • Very good within accuracy of approach
  • Need longer data set over same

transition targets to quantitatively evaluate alignment

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

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

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

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
