This dataset contains a high quality operational Environmental Data Record (EDR) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument onboard the Suomi-NPP satellite and is produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). This EDR contains Near Constant Contrast (NCC) Imagery using the Day/Night Band (DNB). NCC is a pseudo-albedo, with a much smaller range of values than the DNB radiances from which it is derived; a product that is especially useful in high-contrast conditions, such as across the day-night terminator. The VIIRS NCC EDR provides imagery at a spatial resolution of 750 meters at nadir, and 1.5 kilometer at the edge of the swath (EOS), whereas the DNB spatial resolution is 750 meters across the full swath. By default, IDPS VIIRS NCC obtained from the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed in four aggregated 86-second granules in Hierarchical Data Format v.5 (HDF5) with metadata attributes included.
