Missing Production CLDPROP NPP/VIIRS Software?

by nprestine » Tue Jul 23, 2024 1:17 pm America/New_York

Hi support,

Reposting this because I am not sure if I phrased my previous question correctly.

I am looking to generate VIIRS level 2 data, specifically "CLDPROP_L2_VIIRS_SNPP - VIIRS/SNPP Cloud Properties L2 6-Min Swath 750 m" https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/missions-and-measurements/products/CLDPROP_L2_VIIRS_SNPP#overview from standard input data.

I was able to get access to site https://modaps.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/software/ where code for generating other level 2 data is located, however, I am not seeing the CLDPROP algorithm code on the site.

Can you offer some clarification on this issue?
Am I looking at the wrong spot or perhaps misreading the labels for the software? It seems unlikely that code for generating nearly every other data product is there but not CLDPROP.

Thank you,
Nick

Dear Nick:
Specifying product makes a big difference. The MODAPS page you were referred was for software that are used to generate products at MODAPS-LAADS (MODIS level 1, atmosphere,land, and VIIRS level1, land, and other products) . However, NASA's Atmosphere Science Investigator-led Processing System or Atmosphere SIPS which is located at the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is responsible for processing, reprocessing, production and general assessments of joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP), NOAA20, and NOAA21 VIIRS Atmosphere Products (including all VIIRS CLDPROP products). So, you need to contact the Atmosphere SIPS for the VIIRS CLDPROP products' software. Their website is:
