Explore the benefits of utilizing the ISS and Suomi NPP platforms for characterizing low-light visible observations from the Suomi NPP Day/Night Band. Join Steven D. Miller (CIRA), William Straka III (CIMSS), and Donald Pettit (NASA-JSC) as they showcase the unique perspectives offered by these platforms. Discover comparisons of anthropogenic lights, insights on aurora motion, and ISS nightglow observations. This talk delves into the synergy between these platforms and their applications in global nighttime light emissions. Don't miss this opportunity to understand the structure of DNB scanned imagery and more at the 94th AMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA.

Monday, Feb. 3rd 4:15 PM, Rm. C105 TJ4.2 Man in the Loop:Benefits of the ISS Platform for Characterizing Low-Light Visible Observations from the Suomi NPP Day/Night Band • Steven D. Miller (CIRA), William Straka, III (CIMSS), and Donald Pettit (NASA-JSC) • The Suomi VIIRS Day/Night Band provides a unique view of global nighttime light emissions. • International Space Station astronaut photography offers high spatial resolution and color context to diverse scenes. • This talk considers some ways in which the two platforms may be used in synergy: • Comparisons of anthropogenic lights, including bridges, ships and gas flares • Aurora motion via ISS movies help explain structure of DNB scanned imagery • ISS nightglow observations (IMAP/VISI) corroborating space/time matched DNB 94th AMS Annual Meeting - Atlanta, GA
