VIIRS/NPP Moderate Resolution Bands L1B 6-Min Swath 750 m NRT

Published by NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/BSL/VCST;NASA/GSFC/EOS/ESDIS/LANCE MODIS | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
The VIIRS/NPP Moderate Resolution Bands L1B 6-Min Swath 750m Near Real Time (NRT) product, short-name VNP02MOD_NRT is among the VIIRS Level 1 and Level 2 swath products that are generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during the S-NPP satellite overpass. The VIIRS sensor has 16 moderate-resolution channels (M-bands) that have 16 detectors (16 rows of pixels per scan), that span the wavelengths from 0.412 micrometer to 12.1 micrometer. The VNP02MOD product is comprised of 16 bands that are sensitive to visible, near-infrared (NIR), and thermal wavelengths.The spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 750 m for the Moderate-resolution and Day/Night Bands, and 375m for the Imagery bands.
