VIIRS Channels From Lee et al. (2006), BAMS 3 VIIRS data Basics VIIRS is a scanning radiometer As the satellite orbits the Earth, VIIRS scans a swath that is ~3040 km wide (the cross-track direction). Wide enough to prevent data gaps near the Equator ( MODIS) A rotating mirror reflects radiation onto a set of CCD detectors.
