S-NPP VIIRS: Evaluation of ACSPO and NAVO L2P SST Sasha Ignatov, Yury Kihai, Boris Petrenko, Prasanjit Dash, John Sapper ACSPO vs. NAVO
Background and Objective Currently, two L2P SST products from S-NPP VIIRS are generated: • NAVO and ACSPO • This documents evaluates and compares both products ACSPO vs. NAVO
Daily histograms of VIIRS SST-CMC (01/18/2014) Night ACSPO NAVO Day NAVO produces less pixels than ACSPO on both cold and warm sides of histograms 17 March 2014 ACSPO vs. NAVO ACSPO vs. NAVO 3
Daily coverage (maps of VIIRS SST-CMC for 01/18/2014) NAVO, Day ACSPO, Day NAVO, Night ACSPO, Night NAVO produces quality pixels within ± 52⁰ off nadir ACSPO produces quality pixels within full VIIRS swath (± 70⁰) 17 March 2014 ACSPO vs. NAVO ACSPO vs. NAVO 4
Indian ocean, Day, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO ACSPO vs. NAVO
South Atlantic ocean, Day, 01/18/2014 ACSPO vs. NAVO
South Atlantic, Day, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO ACSPO provides more SST detail with wider coverage ACSPO vs. NAVO
Indian ocean, Night, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO ACSPO provides more SST detail with wider coverage ACSPO vs. NAVO
South Pacific, Day, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO ACSPO provides more SST detail with wider coverage ACSPO vs. NAVO
Mozambique channel, Night, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO ACSPO provides more SST detail with wider coverage ACSPO vs. NAVO
Tropical Atlantic, Day, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO NAVO mask produces geometrical artifacts ACSPO vs. NAVO
Atlantic ocean near Florida, Day, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO Geometrical artifacts and hidden thermal fronts in NAVO SST ACSPO vs. NAVO
West Australian coast, NAVO, Night, 01/18/2014 SST fronts are hidden Coastlines are hidden ACSPO vs. NAVO
West Australian coast, ACSPO, Night, 01/18/2014 ACSPO spatial resolution is higher than in NAVO (ACSPO – 1 pixel , NAVO – 2×2 pixels) Cf. with previous slide ACSPO vs. NAVO
Indian coast, NAVO, Night, 01/18/2014 SST fronts are hidden Coastlines are hidden ACSPO vs. NAVO
Indian coast, ACSPO, Night, 01/18/2014 ACSPO spatial resolution is higher than in NAVO (ACSPO – 1 pixel , NAVO – 2×2 pixels) Cf. with previous slide ACSPO vs. NAVO
East China sea, Day, 01/18/2014 NAVO ACSPO ACSPO provides more SST detail with wider coverage ACSPO vs. NAVO
East China sea, Day, 01/18/2014, no cloud mask (same area as on previous slide) NAVO ACSPO NAVO does not process pixels hidden by cloud mask, fills them with NaNs ACSPO retrieves SST in all ocean pixels, leaving a chance to override the cloud mask ACSPO vs. NAVO
West Australian coast, NAVO, Night, 01/18/2014 Striping is noticeable in NAVO CCT and cloud mask ACSPO vs. NAVO
West Australian coast, ACSPO, Night, 01/18/2014 ACSPO has a destriping capability – no horizontal stripes, cf. with previous slide ACSPO vs. NAVO
Atlantic near Haiti, NAVO, Day, 01/18/2014 Another example of striping in NAVO SST ACSPO vs. NAVO
