NOAA JPSS Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Surface Type (ST) Environmental Data Record (EDR) from IDPS

This dataset contains a high quality operational Environmental Data Record (EDR) of Surface Types (ST) 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). The VIIRS ST EDR provides 17 International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) land cover classifications with global coverage at 1 kilometer spatial resolution and is updated daily. The algorithm requires inputs from several VIIRS EDRs including, Vegetation Index, Snow Cover, and Active Fires. Specific VIIRS spectral bands used to produce this EDR are M4 (555 nm), M11 (2.25 micron), M15 (11 micron), M16 (12 micron), I1 (640 nm), I2 (865 nm), I3 (1.6 micron), and I4 (3.75 micron). By default, IDPS VIIRS ST data obtained from the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed in four 86-second granules in Hierarchical Data Format v.5 (HDF5) with metadata attributes included.
