These products stem from a continuity algorithm that is central to both MODIS data (from Terra and Aqua missions) and VIIRS data (from the SNPP and Joint Polar Satellite System missions). Please bear in mind that each of these products are based on spectral bands that are common to both instruments. They include the following: The SNPP-VIIRS and Aqua-MODIS Cloud Properties products are available from March 1, 2012 through the present.
