Additional VIIRS Version 2 Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity Data Products Released

[LP DAAC - jwilson]

The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) has announced an expansion of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Version 2 Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity Data Products. This VIIRS Version 2 release includes data products from the NOAA-21 satellite, which was previously called Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2).

The NOAA-21 platform was launched in November 2022. Capitalizing on the success of the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and NOAA-20 platforms, NOAA-21 features four similar instruments that take measurements related to atmospheric composition; carbon cycle, ecosystems, and biogeochemistry; weather and climate; and water and energy cycles.
