VIIRS/JPSS1 BRDF/Albedo Local Solar Noon Daily L3 Global 30ArcSec CMG V002

The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and Albedo Local Solar Noon product (VJ143D41) is produced daily using 16 days of data at 30 arc second (1,000 meter) resolution. Data are temporally weighted to the ninth day, which is reflected in the file name. The VJ143D product suite is provided in a Climate Modeling Grid (CMG), which covers the entire globe for use in climate simulation models. Due to the large file size, each VJ143D product contains just one data layer for each of the parameters included in the [VJ143MA2](https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VJ143MA2.002) product. VJ143D40 through VJ143D53 are the 30 arc second BRDF/Albedo Quality values, the Local Solar Noon values, the Valid Observations of the moderate resolution bands (M1 through M5, M7, M8, M10, and M11) plus the Day/Night Band (DNB), the Snow Status, and the Uncertainty. Details regarding methodology are available on the VJ143MA2 product page and in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). VJ143D41 contains the local solar zenith angle at the local solar noon of the representative pixel for the retrieval period.

VIIRS/JPSS1 BRDF/Albedo Quality Daily L3 Global 1km SIN Grid NRT

The VIIRS/JPSS1 BRDF/Albedo Quality Daily L3 Global 1 km SIN Grid Near Real Time (NRT), short-name VJ143MA2N product provides BRDF and Albedo quality at 1 km resolution. The VNP43MA2N product is produced daily using 16-day VIIRS data (i.e., the current day and the previous 15 days). The algorithm uses the RossThick/Li-Sparse-Reciprocal (RTLSR) semi-empirical kernel-driven BRDF model, with the three kernel weights from VJ143MA1N to reconstruct surface anisotropic effects, correcting the directional reflectance to a common view geometry (VJ143MA4N), while also computing integrated black-sky albedo (BSA) at local solar noon and white-sky albedo (WSA) (VJ143MA3N). Researchers can use the BRDF model parameters with a simple polynomial, to obtain black-sky albedo at any solar illumination angle. Likewise, both the BSA and WSA Science Dataset (SDS) layers can be used with a simple polynomial, to manually estimate instantaneous actual albedo (blue-sky albedo). Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) at https://www.umb.edu/editor_uploads/images/school_for_the_environment_cs/Viirs/VIIRS_ATBD_Apr_Jul2017.pdf The VJ143MA2N data product provides a total of 23 SDS layers including: BRDF/Albedo band quality and days of valid observation within a 16-day period for VIIRS moderate resolution bands: M1-M5, M7-M8, and M10-M11, as well as land water type class flag, snow BRDF albedo class flag, local solar noon, and the platform name.
