NOAA JPSS Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Global and Regional Level-3 Green Vegetation Fraction (GVF) from NDE
VIIRS-GVF-NDE
Example of Suomi NPP VIIRS Weekly Green Vegetation Fraction March 16 - March 22, 2016. Image courtesy of NOAA JPSS LTM system.
This Level-3 (L3) Environmental Data Record (EDR) provides Global (4 km) and Regional (1 km) Green Vegetation Fraction (GVF) detected with the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 satellites. This weekly product is used as an input to land surface models and numerical weather predicton (NWP) models. The data are produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and is distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) in the NetCDF-4 file format with metadata attributes included.
