VIIRS/JPSS2 Daily Gridded Day Night Band 15 arc-second Linear Lat Lon Grid Night NRT
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/viirs/vj246a1_nrt.002
The first of two Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day Night Band (DNB) based Near Real Time (NRT) datasets is a daily, top-of-atmosphere, at-sensor nighttime radiance product called VIIRS/JPSS2 Daily Gridded Day Night Band 15 arc-second Linear Lat Lon Grid Night NRT.
Description
Known by its short-name, VJ246A1_NRT, this product contains 26 Science Data Sets (SDS) that include sensor radiance, zenith and azimuth angles (at-sensor, solar, and lunar), cloud-mask flags, time, shortwave IR radiance, brightness temperatures, VIIRS quality flags, moon phase angle, and moon illumination fraction.
It also provides Quality Flag (QF) information specific to the cloud-mask, VIIRS moderate-resolution bands M10, M11, M12, M13, M15, M16, and DNB.
