Visible Infrared Imager-Radiometer Suite NPP Level-2 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Land Reflectance Data Version 2014

Published by NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/OB.DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: September 15, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17
Product Title: Visible Infrared Imager-Radiometer Suite NPP Level-2 The Visible and Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a multi-disciplinaryinstrument that is being flown on the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series ofspacecraft, including the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) thatlaunched in October 2011. JPSS is a multi-platform, multi-agency program thatconsolidates the polar orbiting spacecraft of NASA and the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA). S-NPP is the initial spacecraft in this series,and VIIRS is the successor to MODIS for Earth science data product generation. VIIRShas 22 spectral bands ranging from 412 nm to 12 nm. There are 16 moderate-resolutionbands (750m at nadir), 5 image-resolution bands (375m), and one day-night band (DNB).
