Featured Surface Thermal Properties 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. The instrument collects visible and infrared imagery along with global observations of Earth's land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and ocean, including data useful for determining surface thermal properties.
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).
Join us to learn how to discover, subset, access and visualize both MODIS and VIIRS data products using a suite of user-friendly tools developed by NASA's ORNL DAAC.
