Missing composite in VIIRS/NPP VNP13C1 V002 product
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2025 10:49 am America/New_York
Dear LP DAAC team,
I am working with the VIIRS/NPP Vegetation Indices 16-Day L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG V002 (VNP13C1) product, covering the period 2012–2024.
While checking the temporal sequence, I found that one composite seems to be missing between:
VNP13C1.A2024185.002.2024213182342.h5
VNP13C1.A2024201.002.2024221220945.h5
According to the standard 8-day step in the 16-day overlapping compositing scheme, there should be a file with DOY = 193 (A2024193), corresponding approximately to July 11, 2024.
Could you please confirm if this composite was not generated?
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards,
