Journal of Geophysical Research 100(C3):4525-4532.This data set reports sea ice surface temperature (IST) derived from radiance data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). Following the approach used by MODIS, the algorithm converts VIIRS calibrated radiances into brightness temperature and computes IST using a split-window technique.
VIIRS flies on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite.
