1 Destriping of VIIRS and MODIS SST imagery Marouan Bouali and Alexander Ignatov NOAA/NESDIS/STAR and CSU/CIRA 1 Workshop: “SST from polar orbiters: use of NWP models” Centre de Météorologie Spatiale, Météo France, Lannion March 5-7, 2013 3/4/2013Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST

2 Motivation Native resolution SST imagery (≤1km) derived from whiskbroom scanners (MODIS, VIIRS) is affected with stripe noise 2 Sea Surface Temperatures (°C) Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST Terra MODIS Aqua MODIS NPP VIIRS 3/4/2013 T2012294110000.L2_LAC_SSTA2012294031500.L2_LAC_SSTACSPO_V2.12_NPP_VIIRS_2012-10-20_1510-1519

3 Accuracy of SST retrieval 3 NPP VIIRS (0.75 km) Stripe noise in level 1B or SDRs BTs can lead to SST errors of up to ± 0.3K Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST 3/4/2013 ACSPO_V2.12_NPP_VIIRS_2012-10-20_1510-1519

4 SST Fronts 4 NPP VIIRS (0.75 km) Sobel filter Striping introduces artificial structures and affects the analysis of thermal fronts (orientation, intensity and location) Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST 3/4/2013 ACSPO_V2.12_NPP_VIIRS_2012-10-20_1840-1849

5 5 Prior to assimilating into UHR L4 SST, MODIS and VIIRS L2 SSTs should be destriped Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST UHR L4 SST will be increasingly used as input in NWP models due to better weather prediction (LaCasse et al. 2008) ESA MEDSPIRATION NASA JPL MUR NASA JPL G1SST Ultra-High Resolution Level 4 SSTs 3/4/2013

6 Mitigation of striping 6  Currently, blackbody (BB) and space view (SV) are used for absolute BT calibration on a scan-by-scan basis  This practice ensures that sensor uniformity performance is within pre-launch specification BUT it does not guarantee full mitigation of striping effect  Post-processing of L1B (SDR) is required to generate improved L1B, from which SST products with improved image quality can be produced Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST 3/4/2013

7 Destriping Literature 7  ~ 40 years of research (since Landsat MSS, 1972)  Techniques with potential for operational use are intended for highly pronounced stripe noise whereas,  Stripe noise in 11 & 12 µm bands (MODIS, VIIRS) is below 0.05 K..  No work has been done so far for stripe noise reduction in SST imagery other than…  Spatial smoothing of the atmospheric term in SST algorithm Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST SST = a 0. BT 11 + a 1. BT 12 + a 2.SST ref.[(BT 11 -BT 12 ) * H](sec( Ɵ ) -1) Low signal-to-stripe noise ratio (SSNR) Low-pass filter 3/4/2013

8 Towards Operational Destriping 8 Requirements Automatic: Minimize supervision and algorithm tuning Robust: Maximize improvement of image quality, i.e., minimize:  Residual stripes  Distortion  Processing artifacts Fast: Suitable for real-time processing of satellite data.

29 Destriping performance 29 The Normalized Improvement Factor (NIF) quantifies the improvement in image quality Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST Monitoring of the NIF index over a 3 day period indicates stable destriping performance (5% ≤ NIF ≤ 30%) 3/4/2013

30 Conclusion 30 Destriping VIIRS/MODIS SST  Stripe noise is clearly visible in MODIS and VIIRS level 2 SST and cloud mask  It introduces relative errors of up to 0.3 K at the pixel level .. and compromises downstream SST applications - classification/clustering, cloud mask, thermal fronts detection…  Downsampling SST from 1 km (or 0.75 km for VIIRS) to 2/4 km resolution does not really mitigate the problem…  On-orbit calibration/characterization can reduce striping but cannot remove it fully, due to numerous factors contributing to stripe noise  Scene-based post-processing to reduce stripe noise is the only practical approach for improved SST imagery 3/4/2013
