VIIRS DNB Issues and Proposed Solutions Bias in geolocation. Needs to be characterized to correct. Geolocation lacks terrain correction. Use terrain corrected geolocation files from I bands. Offsets were to be taken from new moon observation of deep ocean. However, derivation of the offsets complicated by scanline repeat cycle and detection of clouds by skyglow. Cloud-free compositing and synchronization of scanlines will be required to derive the best offsets.

Bias in DNB Geolocation

VIIRS Data Access From the archive ( Open access anticipate in the next couple of months. From direct readout stations. The direct broadcast service will start later this year. From value added processors. NGDC will provide NRT and temporal composites of the DNB data. There will be other discipline based value added processors.
