VNP09CMG - VIIRS/NPP Surface Reflectance Daily L3 Global 0.05 Deg CMG
The NPP/VIIRS surface reflectance products are estimates of surface reflectance in each of the VIIRS reflective bands I1-I3, M1-M5, M7, M8, M10, and M11. The VNP09CMG Level-3 product provides surface reflectance daily for these bands at 0.05 degree resolution.
Surface reflectance is obtained by adjusting top-of-atmosphere reflectance to compensate for atmospheric effects. Corrections are made for the effects of molecular gases, including ozone and water vapor, and for the effects of atmospheric aerosols. The inputs to the surface reflectance algorithm include top-of-atmosphere reflectance for the VIIRS visible bands (VNP02MOD, VNP02IMG), the VIIRS cloud mask and aerosol product (NPP-CMIP_L2), aerosol optical thickness (NPP_VAOTIP_L2, NPP_VAMIP_L2), and atmospheric data obtained from a reanalysis (surface pressure, atmospheric precipitable water, and ozone concentration).
This product is based on a Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) for the purpose of being used in climate simulation models.
All surface reflectance products are produced for daytime conditions only. The product is produced under all atmospheric conditions except for night and oceans.
