VIIRS/JPSS2 Gap-Filled Lunar BRDF-Adjusted Nighttime Lights Daily L3 Global 15 arc-second Linear Lat Lon Grid NRT
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/viirs/vj246a2_nrt.002
The second of the two Near Real Time (NRT)VIIRS DNB-based datasets is a daily moonlight- and atmosphere-corrected Nighttime Lights (NTL) product called VIIRS/JPSS1 Gap-Filled Lunar BRDF-Adjusted Nighttime Lights Daily L3 Global 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid.
Description
Known by its short-name, VJ246A2, this product contains seven Science Data Sets (SDS) that include DNB BRDF-Corrected NTL, Gap-Filled DNB BRDF-Corrected NTL, DNB Lunar Irradiance, Latest High-Quality Retrieval, Mandatory Quality Flag, Cloud Mask Quality Flag, and Snow Flag.
The VJ246A2_NRT product files are provided in standard Hierarchical Data Format–Earth Observing System (HDF-EOS5) format.
