Early Results from NOAA-20 (JPSS-1) Viirs On-Orbit Calibration and CharacterizationSince launch in November 2018, the VIIRS on-board the NOAA-20 (or JPSS-1) satellite has completed its initial intensive on-orbit check-outs and several key calibration and validation activities scheduled to help evaluate sensor at launch performance. This paper provides a brief overview of NOAA-20 VIIRS on-orbit operation and calibration activities, presents early results derived from its on-board calibrators and lunar observations, and discusses potential improvements and future effort to assure sensor data product quality.
