VIIRS/JPSS1 On Board Calibrator (OBC) IP NRT

The Level-1 and Level-2 swath products are generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during the JPSS1 satellite overpass. The VIIRS sensor has 5 high-resolution imagery channels (I-bands) that have 32 detectors (32 rows of pixels per scan), with twice the resolution of the M-bands and the DNB, that span the wavelengths from 0.640 micrometer to 11.45 micrometer. There are also 7 dual-gain VIIRS bands. The dual gain moderate resolution bands (M1 to M5, M7 and M13) have 6304 samples and the other moderate resolution bands have 3200.The Near Real Time (NRT) VIIRS/JPSS1 On Board Calibrator IP product (VJ102OBC_NRT) file contains space view, solar diffuser, on-board calibrator blackbody (OBCBB) view observations, the associated gain state and HAM side information, and all engineering and housekeeping data, including unscaled data from the Solar Diffuser Stability Monitor (SDSM)/VIIRS Earth View Radiometric Calibration Unit and the Solar Diffuser GEO angles.For additional information, see the Operational Algorithm Description (OAD) Document for the L1B product at http://npp.gsfc.nasa.gov/sciencedocs/2015-08/474-00090_OAD-VIIRS-CAL-GEO-SDR_H.pdf. The document describes how VIIRS operates in space and provides the equations implemented by the L1B software to generate the MODIS Level-1 intermediate products. It is a summary document that presents the formulae and error budges used to transform VIIRS digital counts to radiance and reflectance.
