NOAA JPSS Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Surface Reflectance from NDE

This data set contains a high quality Environmental Data Record (EDR) of surface reflectance (SR) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument onboard the Suomi-NPP satellite and is produced by the NOAA Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS). This EDR contains estimates of the surface reflectance for each VIIRS spectral band as it would have been measured at ground level as if there were no atmospheric scattering or absorption. It corrects for the effects of atmospheric gases, aerosols, and thin cirrus clouds. The VIIRS SR product is directly heritage from the MODIS sensor onboard the AQUA and TERRA satellites. Improvements over the IDPS product include: bypass SDR quality flag, removed the ephemeral water flag check in AOT IP, while using the AOT over land skip the dust model, retrieves SR over all conditions, and uses better rations to retrieve AOT over land. VIIRS SR Data are provided every 12 hours at a spatial resolution of 750 meters at nadir for the 16 moderate-resolution, narrow-spectral-band products and 375 meters at nadir for the imagery bands. VIIRS SR data distributed by the NESDIS Data Exploitation (NDE) system and obtained from the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed as single 86-second granules in NetCDF-4 format with metadata attributes included.
