| Description |
The LAADS DAAC has executed a soft release of four v2.0 VIIRS Lunar BRDF-adjusted Nighttime Lights composite products. A soft release means that users can directly access and download these data products but cannot search for or discover them via the LAADS DAAC's search and order interface or through the Earthdata portal. Users may access and download these four data collections via the following URLs referenced in their shortnames:
The start-dates for the v2.0 collections are from 2012-001 for SNPP VIIRS and from 2018-001 for NOAA-20 VIIRS. The processing should soon catch up to the leading edge in the next few days. Consult the v2.0-specific Black Marble User Guide for additional details. If you have any questions, contact the LAADS User Services . |
