Abstract
VIIRS day-night band (DNB) covers a wavelength range from 500 nm to 900 nm, has three gain stages enabling a dynamic range of 7 orders of magnitude, and is calibrated by a solar diffuser. In this paper, the calibration uncertainty of the DNB is analyzed for both SNPP and NOAA-20 VIIRS instruments. It is shown that the uncertainties of the DNB for all gain stages, detectors, half angle mirror sides, and aggregation modes are much smaller than the uncertainty specifications of the band, which is 5%, 10%, and 100% for low, middle, and high gain stage, respectively.
