NOAA JPSS Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Aerosol Detection Environmental Data Record (EDR) from NDE

This Environmental Data Record (EDR) provides suspended matter from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument onboard Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21. satellite. The retrieval algorithm is based on a legacy product originally developed for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor but is adapted and improved upon for use by VIIRS. The aerosol mask indicates the presence of either smoke or dust. The dust and smoke masks indicate the presence of dust and smoke, respectively. Because the presence of smoke and dust are independently derived, a given pixel can be identified with both dust and smoke. The product also includes data quality information for on-earth pixels. Note, the binary aerosol, dust, and smoke mask values are dimensionless quantities. The algorithm utilizes fourteen different spectral bands ranging from 0.412 to 12 microns. The spatial resolution is 1 kilometer (km) and the temporal resolution is daily. VIIRS Aerosol Detection data distributed is by the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) as single 86-second granules in NetCDF-4 format with metadata attributes included.
