This dataset contains a high quality operational Environmental Data
Record (EDR) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument
onboard the Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 satellites. The dataset is produced by
the NOAA Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS), and is an EDR of Imagery from
all 5 I-bands and 6 of the 16 M-bands. It is important to note however that only the
I-band EDR Imagery is archived in CLASS, the M-band EDR Imagery is not. The VIIRS
Imagery EDR provides I-band imagery at a spatial resolution of 375 m at nadir, and
750 m at the edge of the swath (EOS). The M-band EDR Imagery spatial resolution is
750 m at nadir, and 1.5 km at the edge of swath (EOS). By default, IDPS VIIRS Imagery
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.
