Featured Albedo Observation Method: VIIRS
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) flies aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and NOAA-platforms. VIIRS collects global observations of Earth's land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and ocean, including measurements of albedo.
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) will help ensure continuity of Earth observations after the upcoming retirement of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).
Greenbelt, MD
NASA's Land Science Investigator-led Processing System is responsible for processing, reprocessing, production and general assessment of the Suomi NPP Science Team standard and experimental Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) land products.
