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.

From MODIS to VIIRS: Continuing the Legacy

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).
