VIIRS/JPSS1 Daily Gridded Day Night Band 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid Night NRT

Description

The first of two Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day Night Band (DNB) based Near Real Time (NRT) datasets is a daily, top-of-atmosphere, at-sensor nighttime radiance product called VIIRS/JPSS1 Daily Gridded Day Night Band 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid Night NRT. Known by its short-name, VJ146A1_NRT, this product contains 26 Science Data Sets (SDS) that include sensor radiance, zenith and azimuth angles (at-sensor, solar, and lunar), cloud-mask flags, time, shortwave IR radiance, brightness temperatures, VIIRS quality flags, moon phase angle, and moon illumination fraction. It also provides Quality Flag (QF) information specific to the cloud-mask, VIIRS moderate-resolution bands M10, M11, M12, M13, M15, M16, and DNB.
