Abstract

Results are provided of a project to derive improved products from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data record for land investigations. As part of this project, a prototype AVHRR processing system has been developed. This paper describes the different components of this system, which include radiometric in-flight vicarious calibration for the visible and near infrared channels, geometric correction and atmospheric correction as pre-processing steps. The processed data are then stored in a new intermediate data format, which enables flexible compositing approaches. The system generates surface reflectance and vegetation index products as well as new higher order products of reflectance at 3.75 mum and active fires. A comparison of a significant sample of data with widely used precursor AVHRR products is presented to evaluate the processing chain and the improvements it provides.
