VIIRS Aggregation of the I2 band to produce the M7 Band Part I:Aggregate I2 band,Compare to M7 band Draft - Preliminary Study USM , NRL Stennis Ryan Vandermeulen and Robert Arnone Sherwin Ladner , Paul Martinolich May 28, 2013
2 VIIRS – Visible/NIR Spectrum I2 – 375 and M7 750m Similar Spectral response Band used for Atmospheric Correction
Objective: Can the I2 band at 375 m be aggregated to 750m similar to the M7 bands? What is the correlation between the Aggregated I2 and M7 bands? What affect does it have on the ocean products? - normalized water leaving radiance, , - chlorophyll
Aggregation • November 08, 2012, GOMEX • I-2 band (375m) aggregated to 750-m resolution • 2 x 2 pixel average (non-weighted) • Comparison of Lt (I2 aggregated v M7).

Summary • Notes differences with the Aggregation of I2 and M7 • M7 band has higher values than the I2 Aggregated band - • More scattering in the I2 aggregated in land that water • The variance on the I band 2x2 pixel mean appears to affect the M band comparison • Impact of the I band aggregation at M7 affects the nLw (l). Future : Define the influence of the variance with the 2x2 aggregation Define where the scattering in I2 aggregation is occurring.
