VIIRS/JPSS1 BRDF/Albedo Parameter 2 Band M4 Daily L3 Global 30 ArcSec CMG V002

The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and Albedo Model Parameter 2 Band M4 product (VJ143D11) 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. Each of the three model parameters (isotropic, volumetric, and geometric) for each of the nine VIIRS moderate resolution bands along with the visible, near-infrared (NIR), and shortwave bands included in the [VJ143MA1](https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VJ143MA1.002) product is stored in a separate file as VJ143D01 through VJ143D36. In addition to the bands included in VJ143MA1, this product suite includes model parameters for the VIIRS Day/Night Band (DNB) as VJ143D37 through VJ143D39. Details regarding methodology are available on the VJ143MA1 product page and in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). VJ143D11 is the BRDF volumetric parameter for VIIRS band M4 (0.555 μm). The volumetric parameter, in conjunction with the isotropic and geometric parameters, is used to derive the BRDF/Albedo values for VIIRS band M4.

VIIRS/JPSS1 DNB BRDF/Albedo Albedo Daily L3 Global 1km SIN Grid V002

The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and Albedo (VJ143DNBA3) Version 2 product provides albedo values at 1 kilometer (km) resolution for the bihemispherical reflectance white-sky albedos (WSA) and directional hemispherical reflectance black-sky albedos (BSA) at local solar noon. The VJ143DNBA3 product is produced daily using 16 days of VIIRS data and is weighted temporally to the ninth day, which is reflected in the file name. The VJ143 data products are designed to promote the continuity of NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) BRDF/Albedo data product suite. The VJ143 algorithm uses the RossThick/Li-Sparse-Reciprocal (RTLSR) semi-empirical kernel-driven BRDF model, with the three kernel weights from [VJ143DNBA1](https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VJ143DNBA1.002) to reconstruct surface anisotropic effects, correcting the directional reflectance to a common view geometry ([VJ143DNBA4](https://doi.org/10.5067/VIIRS/VJ143DNBA4.002)), while also computing integrated black-sky albedo (BSA) at local solar noon and white-sky albedo (WSA) (VJ143DNBA3). 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). The VJ143DNBA3 product provides BSA, WSA, and mandatory quality layers for the VIIRS DNB. A low-resolution image is also available showing retrievals of WSA for the shortwave broadband in JPEG format.

VIIRS/JPSS1 Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity 6-Min L2 Swath 750m

The Near Real Time (NRT) VIIRS Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity 6-Min L2 Swath 750m product (VJ121_NRT) uses a physics-based algorithm to dynamically retrieve both the LST and emissivity simultaneously for the three VIIRS thermal infrared bands M14 (8.55 micrometer), M15 (10.76 micrometer), and M16 (12 micrometer) at a spatial resolution of 750 m at nadir. The VJ!21 algorithm is based on the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Temperature Emissivity Separation (TES) algorithm. This algorithm uses full radiative transfer simulations for the atmospheric correction, and an emissivity model based on the variability in the surface radiance data to dynamically retrieve both LST and spectral emissivity at native pixel resolution. Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) at: https://viirsland.gsfc.nasa.gov/PDF/VNP21_LSTE_ATBD_v2.1.pdf and user guide at: https://viirsland.gsfc.nasa.gov/PDF/VNP21_LSTE_user_guide.pdf

VIIRS/JPSS1 Gross Primary Productivity and Net Photosynthesis Gap-Filled 8-Day L4 Global 500m SIN Grid V002

The NOAA-20 Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Net Photosynthesis (PSN) Gap-Filled (VJ117A2GF) Version 2 data product is a cumulative composite of 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. VJ117A2GF is an 8-day composite at 500 meter spatial resolution delivered as a gridded Level 4 (L4) product in Sinusoidal projection. The VJ117A2GF will be generated at the end of each year when the entire yearly 8-day VJ115A2H is available. Hence, the gap-filled VJ117A2GF 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 VJ117A2GF in near-real time because it will be generated only at the end of a given year. Provided in the VJ117A2GF product are layers for GPP, PSN, along with a quality control layer. A low resolution browse image for GPP is also available for each VJ117A2GF granule.

Ranging in wavelengths from 0.402 micron to 12.49 micron, the M-bands are sensitive to visible, 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 spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 750 m for the Moderate-resolution and Day/Night Bands, and 375 m for the Imagery bands.

VIIRS/JPSS1 Imagery Resolution Terrain Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 375m NRT

The Near Real Time (NRT) VIIRS/JPSS1 Imagery Resolution Terrain Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 375m (VJ103IMG_NRT) product includes the geolocation fields that are calculated for each VIIRS imagery resolution band (I-band) Line of sight (LOS) for all orbits at the nominal resolution of 375 m. The locations and ancillary information correspond to the intersection of the centers of each Field of View (FOV) from 32 detectors in an ideal I-band 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 VNP03IMG_NRT Geolocation files include geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, satellite zenith and azimuth angles, and a land/water mask for each 375m 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 a large number of subsequent VIIRS Imagery Resolution products, particularly those produced by the Land team.
