Overall
comparison of the MODIS
and VIIRS instruments.
VIIRS (

) and MODIS
(

). VIIRS mass power
and volume are 162 kg,
140 W, and 1.2 m

. For
MODIS, these are 230 kg,
147 W and 2.0 m

CZCS observations that begin in 1978. Success with the JPSS and the VIIRS offers
the considerable potential that even longer data records increasingly useful for
climate studies can be provided.
