Description

We would like to inform all users of the recently released SNPP VIIRS C2 Level-1 and JPSS-1 VIIRS C2.1 Level-1 data about some possible geolocation accuracy issues that derive from data acquired during certain spacecraft maneuver periods. We plan to fix these errors in the near-future. Please refer to the following link that also points to LDOPE's maneuver records:
