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.
