This book discusses the fundamental principles necessary to interpret surface and cloud features in multispectral meteorological satellite imagery. It begins with background information, tracing the evolution of satellite meteorology and detailing previous instruments on which VIIRS is based. Next, two chapters examine the user requirements for data products and the studies used to convert these requirements into sensor design parameters for VIIRS. The remainder of the book focuses on the principles and techniques used to fully exploit the multispectral VIIRS data, providing color examples, numerous tables and figures, and a discussion of automated data-retrieval processes for 3D cloud fields.
