Prior to this study, the cause of the pronounced striping in Earth View (EV) images and obvious discontinuity in the EV brightness temperature (BT) of the thermal emissive bands (TEB) during black body (BB) warm-up cool-down (WUCD) calibration observed since launch has not been identified. Meanwhile, it has been recently demonstrated in the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) long-wave infrared (LWIR) photovoltaic (PV) bands that the crosstalk effect induces the same erroneous features. In this investigation, it is shown that the established lunar imagery analysis indeed verifies the existence of crosstalk contamination in SNPP VIIRS TEB. The crosstalk effect is quantitatively characterized by deriving the crosstalk coefficients from the scheduled lunar observations. The magnitude of the effect is comparatively smaller than that in MODIS LWIR PV bands, but is of a large enough magnitude to induce the aforementioned artificial features. Among all SNPP VIIRS TEB, Band M14 has the largest crosstalk contamination from Band M15, while Bands M13, M15, M16, and I5 have pronounced crosstalk effects as well. One new detail of the crosstalk effect specific to SNPP VIIRS, differing from the MODIS result, is the distinctive two-group pattern of odd and even detectors for each affected band due to the arrangement of the detector on the focal plane assembly (FPA). This is fully consistent with the earlier finding that this odd-even detector arrangement contributes to striping in the sea surface temperature (SST) products. Our analyses additionally suggest an explanation of the large temperature anomalies appearing during the WUCD time periods. The parallel effort examining the potential crosstalk contamination in SNPP VIIRS reflective solar bands, however, reveals no observable effect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9040344","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,4]],"date-time":"2017-04-04T10:15:12Z","timestamp":1491300912000},"page":"344","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Crosstalk Effect in SNPP VIIRS"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5913-0510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junqiang","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, Center for Satellite Applications and Research, E\/RA3, 5830 University Research Ct., College Park, MD 20740, USA"},{"name":"Global Science and Technology, 7855 Walker Drive, Suite 200, Greenbelt, MD 20770, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7019-3125","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Menghua","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, Center for Satellite Applications and Research, E\/RA3, 5830 University Research Ct., College Park, MD 20740, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1142","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2013.2247768","article-title":"Early on-orbit performance of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite","volume":"52","author":"Cao","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
