Abstract: The NOAA-20 (formerly the Joint Polar Satellite System-1) satellite was launched on November 18, 2017. One of the five scientific instruments aboard the NOAA-20 satellite (N20) is the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The VIIRS scans the earth surface in 22 spectral bands, of which 14 are denoted as the reflective solar bands (RSBs) with design band central wavelengths from 412 to 2250 nm. The VIIRS regularly performs on-orbit radiometric calibration of its RSBs, primarily t...
