NASA NPP SDS Level 1 Requirements The SDS shall be designed with the assumption that the operational IPO IDPS generated NPP EDRs do not require reprocessing or re-computation in order to support climate research needs. Consequently, the SDS will not be designed to routinely generate climate data products which require long-term archival in the ADS In developing the SDS, the Project shall assume that EDRs produced by the IDPS are climate quality and put in place the capability to test that hypothesis in order to contribute to improving the quality of future EDRs. The SDS shall provide suggested algorithm improvements to the IDPS. The SDS is NOT tasked to produce data products for distribution. Fred Patt

NASA VIIRS Ocean Science Team ▼ Evaluate sensor artifacts (e.g, crosstalk) and potential corrections based on  Prelaunch: Characterization data and simulated data.  Postlaunch: Flight data and in situ data, if available. ▶ Evaluate VIIRS RSB Rad Cal (solar, lunar, & vicarious). ▶ Process VIIRS flight data with NASA algorithms to compare against operational products. ▶ Sensor-to-sensor and self-consistency checks; will include in situ data, if available. ▶ Expect to produce a postlaunch quality report after one year. RSB- Reflective Solar Bands Rad Cal- Radiometric Calibration Kevin Turpie

VIIRS DATA SIMULATOR ▶ The VIIRS Data Simulator was designed to provide the ocean team with a better fidelity product for evaluating instrument effects to EDR quality. Key features:  Can generate global time series.  Ability to include sensor response and artifacts.  Helps to prepare team and infrastructure for postlaunch evaluation. Quasi-true color browse image showing global production by the VIIRS Data Sim-ulator for one day.

VIIRS DATA SIMULATOR ▶ Based on MODIS Aqua L3:  L3 provides global surface fields.  VIIRS viewing geometry, w/ aggregation and bow-tie deletion.  l2gen atmospheric RT modeling provides TOA radiances.  VIIRS response and artifacts applied (see below).  Includes clouds and land radiances as well as ocean.  NASA algorithms used to produce “L2” VIIRS products. ▶ Sensor artifacts currently included:  Spectral effects of optical crosstalk.  Spectral/spatial effects of electronic crosstalk.  VIIRS RSR, w/ OOB.  VIIRS polarization response.  VIIRS RVS. ▶ Artifacts to be included shortly:  Noise (VIIRS SNR)  Stray light (NFR)

VIIRS DATA SIMULATOR ▶ L1, L2, & L3 simulated data will be available to science team members via restricted access to the oceancolor website. (L3 pending testing) ▶ Not operational yet, pending discussion with NPP Science Team members. VIIRS OC Derived Chl a

The NASA PIC algorithm has broadened our spatial view of truly global PIC phenomena e.g. The “Great Calcite Belt” This high PIC feature has been validated It covers 20% of global ocean Merged 2-band/3-band algorithm for Particulate Inorganic Carbon (suspended calcium carbonate) The NASA PIC algorithm has broadened our temporal view of global PIC e.g. Global patterns of PIC standing stock e.g. Will be important for evaluating global impacts of ocean acidification Barney Balch

Phytoplankton Biomass and Diversity on the New England Shelf: In Situ Time Series for Validation and Exploration of Remote Sensing Algorithms PI: Heidi M. Sosik, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Co-I: Hui Feng, University of New Hampshire Goal: Use unique time series to evaluate algorithms that extend MODIS ocean color data beyond chlorophyll to functional group or size-class- dependent phytoplankton retrievals Approach: End-to-end time series observations, with step by step algorithm evaluation and error analysis single cells  phytoplankton community  bulk water optical properties  sea surface optical properties (air and water)  MODIS optical properties Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory Submersible Imaging Flow Cytometry Tower mounted AERONET-OC MODIS products

The study site presents important Opportunities and Challenges Predictable seasonal switch in phytoplankton dominance – large diatoms in winter – small cells in summer Phytoplankton community changes impact bulk optical properties ( (discrete samples) – Seasonality strong – Interannual variability also evident MODIS products influenced by atmospheric correction and other potential issues – Well-known for northeast US waters – Unique dataset to evaluate new approaches nLw: AERONET-OC nLw: MODIS

21 Satellite Validation MODIS 2011, Science Team Meeting MODIS R rs Use of merged in situ data: 1. Improve correlation and regression 2. Reduce dispersion in comparison to the two datasets taken separately HyperSAS APD=23.6% SeaPRISM=23.7% Merged APD =18.1% (APD is driven by very low values, but the Absolute Diff. stays very low in respect to the radiometric resolution of the satellite)  Collocated instruments permit data quality assurance  Very high-quality data for calibration purposes

22 Satellite Validation MODIS 2011, Science Team Meeting Time Series of Water Remote Sensing Reflectance (R rs ) [sr -1 ]  Consistency in seasonal variations observed from the platform and from space

Satellite Validation 23MODIS 2011, Science Team Meeting Aerosol Optical Thickness Validation 1:1 lineAERONET Uncertainty Regression Line Strong Correlation and most of the matchup points are within the AERONET uncertainty for all satellite (best performance for MODIS-AQUA)  Representativeness of LISCO site - suitable for aerosol retrieval

Comparison of  (SeaWiFS vs. AERONET) Time Series Scatter Plot Bermuda Wallops Island 81% of the retrieval at Bermuda and 78% of the retrievals at Wallops Island fall within an uncertainty of ±0.02 in 

Comparison of α (SeaWiFS vs. AERONET) BermudaWallops Island For new models, the Angstrom coeff. (α) shows better agreement over Bermuda than over Wallops Island For old models, the α values are almost one-half of AERONET Values

Comparison of τ 865 SeaWiFS vs. MODIS(atm) vs. MISR Pacific Ocean (40 o N – 50 o N) τ 865 from the SeaWiFS and MODIS sensors are very close (~ ±0.02) The minimum values of τ 865 from the MISR sensor are higher than SeaWiFS & MODIS values by ~ 0.05

Minnett – Sea Surface Temperature algorithm refinement and validation though ship-based infrared spectroradiometry Objective: Ensure that MODIS SSTs are part of the Climate Data Record Approach: Use shipboard FTIR spectroradiometers (M-AERI), and filter radiometers (ISAR) for independent validation of MODIS SST retrievals. Ensure traceability of validation data to NIST reference standards. Continue studies into improved atmospheric correction algorithms. Continue studies of thermal skin layer of the ocean. Continue studies of diurnal heating and cooling in the upper ocean.

Topographic Control of Ocean Dynamics in the Subtropics (Peter Cornillon and Lew Rothstein) Objective: To better understand the topographic control of phenomena associated with the quasi-zonal structures observed in fields of mean dynamic ocean topography (Maximenko et al. (2008) and of sea surface temperature front probability (Obenour et al. (2010). Colored background is bathymetry in meters. White dots are locations where SST front probability exceeds 18% in Purple and black lines are digitized bands of front probability to aid the eye and red lines are the approximate location of structures seen in fields of filtered mean dynamic topography.
