Description The LAADS DAAC is pleased to announce that it has released both the monthly and yearly versions of the SNPP VIIRS Lunar Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF)-adjusted Nighttime Lights (NTL) product. These composite products are generated from the daily atmospherically and lunar-BRDF-corrected NTL radiance to remove extraneous artifacts and biases, including the influence of viewing angular effects on artificial lights. Both collections start from January 1, 2012.
