VIIRS/JPSS2 Day/Night Band Moderate Resolution Terrain-Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 750m V2.1

The VIIRS/JPSS2 Day/Night Band Resolution Terrain Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 750 m, short-name VJ203DNB product is the Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2/NOAA-21) platform-based NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) L1 terrain-corrected geolocation product, and contains the derived line-of-sight (LOS) vectors for the single panchromatic Day-Night band (DNB). The geolocation algorithm uses a number of inputs that include an Earth ellipsoid, geoid, and a digital terrain model along with the SNPP platform’s ephemeris and attitude data, and knowledge of the VIIRS sensor and satellite geometry. It provides geodetic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and related parameters for each VIIRS L1 pixel. The VJ203DNB product includes geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, lunar zenith and azimuth angles, sensor zenith and azimuth angles, land/water mask, moon illumination fraction and phase angle, and quality flag for every pixel location. The J2 VIIRS geolocation underwent an on-orbit validation. Geolocation errors of about 350 m in the along-scan direction and about 165 m in the along-track direction were corrected for the image-resolution bands and moderate-resolution bands. The Day-Night band (DNB) geolocation error of about 2000 m was corrected.

VIIRS/JPSS2 Imagery Resolution 6-Min L1B Swath SDR 375m NRT

The VIIRS/JPSS2 Imagery Resolution 6-Min L1B Swath 375m Near Real Time (NRT), short-name VJ202IMG_NRT is platform-derived NASA VIIRS L1B calibrated radiances product that comprises five image-resolution or I-bands, which have a 375-meter resolution at nadir. These I-bands comprise three reflective solar bands (RSB) and two thermal emissive bands (TEB). Each of the I-bands has 32 detectors in the along-track direction with 32 rows of pixels per scan that offer a resolution that is twice finer than that of the moderate (M) and Day-Night bands (DNB). Ranging in wavelengths from 0.6 µm to 12.4 µm, the I-bands are sensitive to visible/reflective, near-, shortwave-, mediumwave-, and longwave-infrared wavelengths. Derived from the NASA VIIRS L1A raw radiances, this product includes calibrated and geolocated radiance and reflectance data, quality flags, and granule- and collection-level metadata. In contrast to a MODIS L1B product, which temporally spans 5 minutes, the VIIRS L1B calibrated radiances product contains a nominal temporal duration of 6 minutes. The image dimensions of the 375-m swath product measure 6464 lines by 6400 pixels. The J2 VIIRS radiometric calibration Level-1B reprocessing includes a few calibration updates for the reflective solar bands (RSB), but no significant changes for the day-night band (DNB) or thermal emissive bands (TEB).

VIIRS/NPP BRDF/Albedo WSA at Solar Noon Band M2 Daily L3 Global 30ArcSec CMG V002

The NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and Albedo white-sky albedo for band M2 (VNP43D68) 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 VNP43D 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 VNP43D product contains just one data layer. VNP43D54 through VNP43D79 are the albedo products of the VNP43D BRDF/Albedo product suite. Black-sky albedo (BSA) and white-sky albedo (WSA) values are provided for the nine VIIRS moderate resolution bands (M1 through M5, M7, M8, M10, and M11) along with the visible, near-infrared (NIR), and shortwave bands included in the [VNP43MA3](https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VNP43MA3.002) product. In addition to the bands included in VNP43MA3, this product suite includes albedo values for the VIIRS Day/Night Band (DNB). The black-sky albedo (directional hemispherical reflectance) is defined as albedo in the absence of a diffuse component and is a function of solar zenith angle. White-sky albedo (bihemispherical reflectance) is defined as albedo in the absence of a direct component when the diffuse component is isotropic. Details regarding methodology are available on the [VNP43MA3](https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VNP43MA3.002) product page and in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). VNP43D68 is the WSA for VIIRS band M2 (0.445 μm). Known Issues * For complete information about known issues please refer to the [MODIS/VIIRS Land Quality Assessment website](https://landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/knownissue). Improvements/Changes from Previous Version * Improved calibration algorithm and better coefficients for entire Suomi NPP mission. * Improved geolocation accuracy and updates to fix outliers around maneuver periods and other events. * Corrections to the aerosol quantity flag (low, average, high) mainly over brighter surfaces in the mid to high latitudes such as desert and tropical vegetation areas. This has an impact on the retrieval of other downstream data products such as VNP13 Vegetation Indices and VNP43 BRDF/Albedo. * Improved cloud mask input product for corrections along coastlines and artifacts from use of coarse resolution climatology data. * Replaced the land/water mask input product with MODIS heritage seven class land/water mask.

It provides geodetic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and related parameters for each VIIRS L1 pixel. The VJ203DNB product includes geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, lunar zenith and azimuth angles, sensor zenith and azimuth angles, land/water mask, moon illumination fraction and phase angle, and quality flag for every pixel location. The J2 VIIRS geolocation underwent an on-orbit validation. Geolocation errors of about 350 m in the along-scan direction and about 165 m in the along-track direction were corrected for the image-resolution bands and moderate-resolution bands. The Day-Night band (DNB) geolocation error of about 2000 m was corrected. Further, the geolocation biases in the scan profile were also corrected. All these corrections bring the geolocation uncertainties for the J2 L1 products to within 75 m (1-sigma) in both the along-scan and along-track directions.

In other words, this file contains the calibrated M1 – M5, M7 and M13 dual gain band data from the nadir and near-nadir zones that would otherwise be discarded following post-calibration aggregation/Earth View Radiometric Calibration Unit. The Level-1 and Level-2 swath products are generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during theJPSS-2/NOAA-21 satellite overpass. The VIIRS sensor has 5 high-resolution imagery channels (I-bands) that have 32 detectors (32 rows of pixels per scan), with twice the resolution of the M-bands and the DNB, that span the wavelengths from 0.640 &#181;m to 11.45 &#181;m. There are also 7 dual-gain VIIRS bands. The dual gain moderate resolution bands (M1 to M5, M7 and M13) have 6304 samples and the other moderate resolution bands have 3200. For additional information, see the Operational Algorithm Description (OAD) Document for the L1B product at http://npp.gsfc.nasa.gov/sciencedocs/2015-08/474-00090_OAD-VIIRS-CAL-GEO-SDR_H.pdf. The document describes how VIIRS operates in space and provides the equations implemented by the L1B software to generate the MODIS Level-1 intermediate products. It is a summary document that presents the formulae and error budges used to transform VIIRS digital counts to radiance and reflectance.

VIIRS/NPP Day/Night Band 6-Min L1B Swath SDR 750m NRT

The VIIRS Level 1 and Level 2 swath products are generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during the S-NPP satellite overpass. The Day/Night band (DNB) is a panchromatic channel covering the wavelengths from 500 nm to 900 nm, and sensitive to visible and near-infrared from daylight down to the low-level radiation observed at night. The VIIRS DNB is much improved from previous products due in large part to its complicated continuous on-board calibration. In addition, new-moon Earth observations are used to estimate and remove stray light. These corrections are a first of its kind to provide on-orbit radiometric calibration. The corrections made to the DNB data are provided by the NASA VIIRS Characterization Support Team and are likely to continue to evolve given this new methodology. The spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 750 m for the DNB and the Moderate-resolution Bands and and 375m for the Imagery bands. The DNB is aggregated to maintain nearly constant horizontal spatial resolution across the swath. As the DNB is sensitive to nighttime radiation over the full lunar cycle, the incoming solar and lunar radiation must be properly modeled to calculate the reflectance. However, the DNB is sensitive to more sources of radiation than just the sun and moon. file_naming_convention = VNP02DNB_NRT.AYYYYDDD.HHMM.CCC.nc AYYYYDDD = Acquisition Year and Day of Year HHMM = Acquisition Hour and Minute CCC = Collection number nc = NetCDF5
