The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a scanning
radiometer on board Suomi NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 that collects visible and
infrared imagery and radiometric measurements of the land, atmosphere, cryosphere,
and oceans. Level-1 Sensor Data Records (SDRs) from from VIIRS are the calibrated and
geolocated radiance and reflectance data produced from the Raw Data Records. There
are 22 VIIRS SDRs: 16 moderate-resolution, narrow-spectral-band products at 750 meter
resolution, five imaging-resolution, narrow-spectral-band products at 375 meter
resolution and one Day-Night Band imaging broadband product at 750 meter resolution.
These SDRs are used as input to produce several Environmental Data Records (EDR)
products. VIIRS SDR data obtained from the NOAA Comprehensive Large Array-Data
Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed as aggregated 5.6 minute files consisting
of four granules in the Hierarchical Data Format v.5 (HDF5) with metadata attributes
included.

Purpose | The VIIRS SDRs are used to create a variety of Environmental Data Records (EDRs), such as Sea Surface Temperature, Vegetation Indices, Ocean Color, etc., for global and regional analysis and as input in the weather forecast models to improve short and long term forecasts. The VIIRS datasets extend the data records provided by the earlier NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). |
