NOAA JPSS Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Land Surface Albedo Environmental Data Record (EDR) from NDE

This dataset contains a high quality Environmental Data Record of land surface albedo from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument onboard Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21. The EDR contains a gap-filled and noise reduced product of daily mean surface albedo and uses inputs from seven VIIRS bands (M1, M4, M5, M7, M8, M10, and M11.) Additionally, the product contains data quality flags and product quality information. The EDR provides global daily coverage for daytime pixels at a spatial resolution of 750 meters at nadir. VIIRS Surface Albedo data is produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) in the NetCDF-4 file format with metadata attributes included.
