Data Description
Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Data Records from Suomi NPP -
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a scanning radiometer that collects visible and infrared imagery and radiometric measurements of the land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and oceans. The VIIRS instrument includes 22 spectral bands: 16 moderate-resolution, narrow-spectral-band at 750 meter resolution, five imaging-resolution, narrow-spectral-band at 375 meter resolution and one Day-Night Band imaging broadband at 750 meter resolution. VIIRS data are distributed through the NOAA Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) in the Hierarchical Data Format v.5 (HDF5) with metadata attributes included.
