VIIRS/JPSS1 Day/Night Band 6 Min L1B Swath 750m NRT

The VIIRS/JPSS1 Day/Night Band 6-Min L1B Swath 750m Near Real Time (NRT) product, short-name VJ102DNB_NRT is one of the VIIRS Level 1 and Level 2 swath products that are generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during the Joint Polar Satellite System - 1 (JPSS1) 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.

VIIRS/JPSS1 Day/Night Band Resolution Terrain Corrected Geolocation 6 Min L1 Swath 750m NRT

The VIIRS/VJ1 Day/Night Band Resolution Terrain Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 750m Near Real Time (NRT) product, short-name VJ103DNB_NRT includes the geolocation fields that are calculated for VIIRS day-night band (DNB) Line of sight (LOS) for all orbits at the nominal resolution of 750 m. The locations and ancillary information correspond to the intersection of the centers of each Field of View (FOV) from 16 detectors in the DNB on the Earth's surface. A digital terrain model is used to model the Earth's surface. The main inputs are the spacecraft attitude and orbit ephemeris data, the instrument telemetry and the digital elevation model. The geolocation fields contained within the VNP03DNB Geolocation files include geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar and lunar zenith and azimuth angles, lunar phase angle and illumination fraction, satellite zenith and azimuth angles, and a land/water mask for each 750m sample. Additional information is included in the header to enable the calculation of the approximate location of the center of the detectors for any of the VIIRS bands. This product is used as input by subsequent VIIRS day/night band products, particularly those produced by the Land team.

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. VJ143D54 through VJ143D79 are the albedo products of the VJ143D 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 [VJ143MA3](https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VJ143MA3.002) product. In addition to the bands included in VJ143MA3, 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 VJ143MA3 product page and in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). VJ143D79 is the WSA for the VIIRS DNB (0.7 μm).

VIIRS/JPSS1 Gross and Net Primary Production Gap-Filled Yearly L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V002

The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Gross and Net Primary Production (NPP) Gap-Filled (VJ117A3GF) Version 2 data product is a cumulative composite of Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) values based on the radiation-use efficiency concept that is potentially used as inputs to data models to calculate terrestrial energy, carbon, water cycle processes, and biogeochemistry of vegetation. VJ117A3GF is a yearly composite at 500 meter spatial resolution delivered as a gridded Level 4 (L4) product in Sinusoidal projection. The VJ117A3GF will be generated at the end of each year when the entire yearly 8-day VJ115A2H is available. Hence, the gap-filled VJ117A3GF is the improved VJ117A2, which has cleaned the poor-quality inputs from 8-day Leaf Area Index and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (LAI/FPAR) based on the Quality Control (QC) label for every pixel. If any LAI/FPAR pixel did not meet the quality screening criteria, its value is determined through linear interpolation. However, users cannot get VJ117A3GF in near-real time because it will be generated only at the end of a given year. Provided in the VJ117A3GF product are layers for GPP, NPP, along with a quality control layer. A low resolution browse image for GPP is also available for each VJ117A3GF granule.
