VIIRS/SNPP Water Vapor Level-3 daily 0.5 x 0.5 degree grid

Description

The VIIRS/SNPP Water Vapor Level-3 daily 0.5 x 0.5 degree grid Product provide total column water vapor (TPW) properties from merged VIIRS infrared measurements and Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) plus Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) water vapor soundings to continue the depiction of global moisture at a higher spatial resolution started with MODIS on the Terra and Aqua platforms. Level-3 global 0.5 degree by 0.5 degree spatial resolution daily mean data products (called WATVP_D3_VIIRS_SNPP) is derived by using a gridding software (called Yori) developed at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Space Science and Engineering Center (Veglio et al., 2018), and implemented by the NASA VIIRS Atmosphere Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS). The Yori has been adapted for the VIIRS TPW products and is processed using the VIIRS Level-2 Water Vapor products (WATVP_L2_VIIRS_SNPP) separated by day and night. The mean and the standard deviation of each Level-2 water vapor product are calculated for each grid cell. The sum, the square of the sum of each product, and the number of pixels in the cells are also stored in the Level-3 (daily) output files for further aggregation purposes.
