Description

The VIIRS/JPSS1 Imagery Resolution 6-Min L1B Swath 375m (VJ102IMG) is generated from the processing of 6 minutes of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data acquired during the Joint Polar Satellite System - 1 (JPSS1) satellite overpass. The VIIRS sensor has 5 high-resolution imagery channels (I-bands) that have 32 detectors (32 rows of pixels per scan), with twice the resolution of the M-bands and the Day/Night Bands (DNB), that span the wavelengths from 0.640 micron to 11.45 microns. The VJ102IMG product is comprised of 5 bands that are sensitive to visible, near-infrared (NIR), and thermal wavelengths. The spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 375 m for the Imagery bands, and 750m for the DNB and the Moderate-resolution Bands.

The spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 750 m for the Moderate-resolution and Day/Night Bands, and 375m for the Imagery bands.
