This publication serves as a reference manual and text for VIIRS imagery, especially for those interested in the interpretation of clouds over global background conditions. It sets out the theoretical principles and phenomenology important to the VIIRS design process, data processing, and image exploitation, and helps readers understand the content of these data once they become available. In particular, it provides background information on NPOESS VIIRS Environmental Data Record requirements, specific NPOESS requirements that must be satisfied by the VIIRS imagery channels, and application-related requirements that include NPOESS requirements for manually generated cloud data products.
