VIIRS/NPP Ice Surface Temperature 6-Min L2 Swath 750 m NRT

Published by NASA/GSFC/EOS/ESDIS/LANCE MODIS | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: September 22, 2026 at 11:29 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 22, 2026
The Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Ice Surface Temperature 6-Min L2 Swath 750m is Near Real Time(NRT) (short name VNP30_NRT) product provides surface temperatures retrieved at VIIRS moderate resolution for Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice, for both day and night. Following the approach used by MODIS, the algorithm converts VIIRS calibrated radiances into brightness temperature and computes IST using a split-window technique. VIIRS flies on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite.
