Data Description

JPSS VIIRS IP Reprocessed (RPVIIRSNG) Non-Gridded

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a scanning radiometer that collects visible and infrared imagery and radiometric measurements of the land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and oceans. VIIRS Intermediate Products (IP) are products generated at a specific point in the data processing stream, stored for a finite period of time, and used internally as an input to other data processing applications. This data family includes three VIIRS intermediate products (IVOBC, ICDBG, IVCDB) generated from reprocessed VIIRS Sensor Data Records (SDRs). These products are not intended for general distribution, but are provided for interested parties because they contain onboard calibrator data as well as the un-aggregated radiometric and geolocation products (for the dual-gain bands only). VIIRS IP products are produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and are distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS).

Dataset Name / Granule ID / Beginning Orbit Number

Dataset Name Granule ID Beginning Orbit Number

Dataset name format is:

ProductID_npp_dyyyymmdd WHERE ProductID=any 5-character data product ID, yyyy=4-digit year, mm=2-digit month, dd=2-digit day or entire dataset name.

Example: SVI01_npp_d20081010

Granule ID format is:

A 15 character string, where the first three characters are the satellite identifier of NPP. The next 12 characters are a zero left filled, 12 digit number, specifying the number of tenths of a second since the first ascending node after launch. Allowable values are 1 through 999999999999.

Beginning Orbit Numberformat is:

An integer representing the number of the orbit at the start of the data collection for a data granule. The orbit number is incremented at each ascending node equatorial crossing.
