Description
The NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Water Reservoir 8-day Level 3 (L3) Global (VNP28C2) Version 2 product provides current data for 151 man-made reservoirs and 13 regulated natural lakes for a total of 164 reservoirs.
The VNP28C2 data product provides an 8-day time series of surface area, elevation, and water storage. Datasets are combined with pre-established Area-Elevation (A-E) curves and image classifications of near-infrared (NIR) reflectance from the surface reflectance product acquired by the VIIRS satellite (VNP09H1).
The VNP28C2 data product consists of a single layer with information about the reservoir identifier, dam location (longitude and latitude), reservoir surface area, elevation, and water storage capacity.
