CERES SSF 1 degree Regionally Averaged TOA Fluxes, Clouds and Aerosols Hourly NPP VIIRS (SSF1deg-Hour)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/npp/ceres/ssf1deg-hour_viirs_l3.002b
Description
CER_SSF1deg-Hour_NPP-VIIRS_Edition2B is the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Single Scanner Footprint One Degree (SSF1deg) Regionally Averaged Top of Atmosphere (TOA) Fluxes, Clouds and Aerosols Hourly Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) Visible-Infrared Imager-Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Edition 2B data product, which was collected using the CERES-Flight Model 5 (FM5) and VIIRS instruments on the Suomi NPP platform.
Data collection for this product is in progress. The CERES SSF1deg Hour product provides regional averages of CERES TOA fluxes, clouds derived from a co-located imager and aerosols on a 1-degree latitude and longitude grid. This is a single satellite product that uses the CERES instrument in cross-track mode.

TOA fluxes are provided for clear-sky and all-sky conditions for longwave (LW), shortwave (SW), and window (WN) wavelength bands. The incoming solar daily irradiance is from the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), Total Solar Irradiance (TSI). The cloud properties are averaged for both day and night (24-hour) and day-only time periods.
Cloud properties are stratified into 4 atmospheric layers (surface-700 hPa, 700 hPa, - 500 hPa, 500 hPa, - 300 hPa, 300 hPa, - 100 hPa) and a total of all layers. The aerosols are averaged instantaneous values from the co-located imager. CERES is a key component of the Earth Observing System (EOS) program.
The CERES instruments provide radiometric measurements of the Earth's atmosphere from three broadband channels. The CERES missions are a follow-on to the successful Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) mission. The CERES FM5 instrument was launched on board the Suomi NPP satellite on October 28, 2011.
