The LAADS DAAC is pleased to publicly release Collection-1 of the NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Level-1 products starting from May 29, 2018. VIIRS is a multidisciplinary instrument that flies aboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) platform, which was launched in October 2011. The products include the following:
The NASA VIIRS L1 products are based on a consistent calibration approach supported by the VIIRS Characterization Support Team, and are offered in a hybridized Network Common Data Format (netCDF4) - Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5) structure that leverages several individual as well as collective strengths of the two data/file storage formats. Besides the NASA standard products listed above, NASA's Land, Atmosphere Near-real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) will soon release the VIIRS Level-1 Near-Real-Time (NRT) products as well. Users can access the NRT products via the following NRT3 and NRT4 interfaces: https://nrt3.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/allData/5001/https://nrt4.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/allData/5001/ |
