The VIIRS/NPP Atmospherically Corrected Surface Reflectance 6-Min L2 Swath 375m, 750m product, with short name VNP09, are estimates of surface reflectance in each of the VIIRS reflective bands I1-I3, M1-M5, M7, M8, M10, and M11. The VNP09 contains approximately 6 minutes' worth of data. Surface reflectance for each moderate-resolution (750m) or imagery-resolution (375m) pixel is retrieved separately for the Level-2 products. Surface reflectance is obtained by adjusting top-of-atmosphere reflectance to compensate for atmospheric effects. Corrections are made for the effects of molecular gases, including ozone and water vapor, and for the effects of atmospheric aerosols. All surface reflectance products are produced for daytime conditions only. The product is produced under all atmospheric conditions except for night and oceans.

The VIIRS/JPSS2 Day/Night Band Resolution Terrain Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 750 m, short-name VJ203DNB product is the Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2/NOAA-21) platform-based NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) L1 terrain-corrected geolocation product, and contains the derived line-of-sight (LOS) vectors for the single panchromatic Day-Night band (DNB). The geolocation algorithm uses a number of inputs that include an Earth ellipsoid, geoid, and a digital terrain model along with the SNPP platform’s ephemeris and attitude data, and knowledge of the VIIRS sensor and satellite geometry. It provides geodetic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and related parameters for each VIIRS L1 pixel. The VJ203DNB product includes geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, lunar zenith and azimuth angles, sensor zenith and azimuth angles, land/water mask, moon illumination fraction and phase angle, and quality flag for every pixel location.
The J2 VIIRS geolocation underwent an on-orbit validation. Geolocation errors of about 350 m in the along-scan direction and about 165 m in the along-track direction were corrected for the image-resolution bands and moderate-resolution bands. The Day-Night band (DNB) geolocation error of about 2000 m was corrected. For more information and documents, visit LAADS product page at:

The VJ203MOD product includes geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, sensor zenith and azimuth angles, land/water mask, and quality flag for every pixel location. VJ203MOD provides a fundamental input to derive a number of VIIRS M-band higher-level products.

The VIIRS/JPSS2 Moderate Resolution 6-Min L1B Swath 750m, short-name VJ202MOD is the Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2/NOAA-21; referred to hereafter as J2) platform-derived NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) L1B calibrated radiances product that comprise sixteen moderate-resolution or M-bands, which have a spatial resolution of 750-meters at nadir. These M-bands comprise eleven reflective solar bands (RSB) and five thermal emissive bands (TEB). Each of the M-bands has 16 detectors in the along-track direction with 16 rows of pixels per scan that provide a 750-m resolution. Ranging in wavelengths from 0.402 µm to 12.49 µm, the M-bands are sensitive to visible, near-, shortwave-, mediumwave-, and longwave-infrared wavelengths. Derived from the NASA VIIRS L1A raw radiances, this product includes calibrated and geolocated radiance and reflectance data, quality flags, and granule- and collection-level metadata.
The J2 VIIRS radiometric calibration Level-1B reprocessing includes a few calibration updates for the reflective solar bands (RSB), but no significant changes for the day-night band (DNB) or thermal emissive bands (TEB). For more information and documentation, visit LAADS product page at:

The VIIRS/JPSS2 Imagery Resolution Terrain Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 375 m, short-name VJ203IMG is the Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2/NOAA-21) platform-derived NASA Visible-Infrared Imaging-Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) L1 terrain-corrected geolocation product and contains the derived line-of-sight (LOS) vectors for each of the 375-m image-resolution or I-bands. The geolocation algorithm uses a number of inputs that include an Earth ellipsoid, geoid, and a digital terrain model along with the SNPP platform’s ephemeris and attitude data, and knowledge of the VIIRS sensor and satellite geometry. It produces geodetic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and related parameters for each VIIRS L1 pixel. The VJ203IMG product includes geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, sensor zenith and azimuth angles, land/water mask, and quality flag for every pixel location. VJ203IMG provides a fundamental input to derive a number of VIIRS I-band higher-level products.
The J2 VIIRS geolocation underwent an on-orbit validation. Geolocation errors of about 350 m in the along-scan direction and about 165 m in the along-track direction were corrected for the image-resolution bands and moderate-resolution bands. The Day-Night band (DNB) geolocation error of about 2000 m was corrected. Further, the geolocation biases in the scan profile were also corrected.

The VIIRS/JPSS2 Imagery Resolution 6-Min L1B Swath 375m, short-name VJ202IMG is the Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2/NOAA-21; referred to hereafter as J2) platform-derived NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) L1B calibrated radiances product that comprise five image-resolution or I-bands, which have a 375-meter resolution at nadir. These I-bands comprise three reflective solar bands (RSB) and two thermal emissive bands (TEB). Each of the I-bands has 32 detectors in the along-track direction with 32 rows of pixels per scan that offer a resolution that is twice finer than that of the moderate (M) and Day-Night bands (DNB). Ranging in wavelengths from 0.6 µm to 12.4 µm, the I-bands are sensitive to visible/reflective, near-, shortwave-, mediumwave-, and longwave-infrared wavelengths.
The J2 VIIRS radiometric calibration Level-1B reprocessing includes a few calibration updates for the reflective solar bands (RSB), but no significant changes for the day-night band (DNB) or thermal emissive bands (TEB). For more information and documents, visit LAADS product page at:

The "Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats" (TROPICS) mission has a goal of providing nearly all-weather observations of three-dimensional temperature and humidity, as well as cloud ice and precipitation horizontal structure, at high temporal resolution to conduct high-value science investigations of tropical cyclones. The mission comprises a constellation of five identical Space Vehicles (SVs) conforming to the 3U form factor and hosting a passive microwave spectrometer payload.
Each SV hosts an identical high-performance spectrometer named the TROPICS Millimeter-wave Sounder (TMS) that will provide temperature profiles using seven channels near the 118.75-GHz oxygen absorption line, water vapor profiles using three channels near the 183-GHz water vapor absorption line, imagery in a single channel near 90 GHz for precipitation measurements (when combined with higher resolution water vapor channels), and a single channel near 205 GHz that is more sensitive to cloud-sized ice particles.
Each TROPICS netCDF file contains a granule of data with 81 spots and approximately 2880 scans, where a granule is defined as an orbit's worth of data. This provisional TROPICS03 data release starts in the middle of June 2023 and TROPICS06 starts at the beginning of June 2023. Both data sets are updated nightly. There are some blackout periods where data is unavailable while the TROPICS team addresses a calibration issue that occurs during the warmest instrument temperatures. The warmest temperatures happen at extreme CubeSat solar beta angles.  See README for this and other calibration observations and the Data Product Users Guide for orbit details.
