NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of VIIRS Surface Reflectance, Version 1

Description

This dataset contains gridded daily surface reflectance and brightness temperatures derived from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensors onboard NOAA polar orbiting satellites. Surface reflectance from VIIRS channels I1, I2, and I3 (at 640, 865, and 1610 nm) are a NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR). The dataset spans from 2014 to 10 days before the present, and was processed from the VIIRS 375m and 750m Earth view Sensor Data Record (SDR) datasets. VIIRS surface reflectance observations are packaged into data arrays with latitude and longitude dimensions of 3600 x 7200 covering the globe at 0.05 degree spatial resolution. This dataset is one of the Land Surface CDR products produced by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the University of Maryland (UMD). Other Land Surface CDR products include the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR). The dataset is in the netCDF-4 file format following ACDD and CF Conventions. The dataset is accompanied by algorithm documentation, data flow diagram and source code for the NOAA CDR Program.
