Last update: September 12, 2018
Data Set Short Name:
VNP30_NRT
Data Set Long Name:
VIIRS/NPP Ice Surface Temperature 6-Min L2 Swath 750m NRT
Platform:
Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP)
Instrument:
Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)
Product Description:
This data set reports sea ice surface temperature (IST) derived from radiance data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). Following the approach used by MODIS, the algorithm converts VIIRS calibrated radiances into brightness temperature and computes IST using a split-window technique.VIIRS flies on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite.
