VIIRS/JPSS2 Actual and Potential Evapotranspiration 8-Day L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V002
Listed in NASA Data Portal
The NOAA-21 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Actual and Potential Evapotranspiration product is an 8-day composite dataset produced at 500 meter (m) pixel resolution.
Description
The VJ216A2 algorithm is based on the Penman-Monteith equation, which includes inputs of daily meteorological reanalysis data along with VIIRS remotely sensed data products such as 8-day vegetation property dynamics and daily surface albedo.
Provided in the VJ216A2 product are layers for composited Evapotranspiration (ET), Latent Heat Flux (LE), Potential ET (PET) and Potential LE (PLE) along with a quality control layer. Two low resolution browse images, ET and LE, are also available for each VJ216A2 granule. The pixel values for the two Evapotranspiration layers (ET and PET) are the summation of 8-day total water loss within the composite period and the pixel values for the two Latent Heat layers (LE and PLE) are the average total energy over a unit area for a day during the composite period.

Note that the last acquisition period of each year is a 5 or 6-day composite period, depending on the year.
