Published by NASA/GSFC/EOS/ESDIS/LANCE MODIS;NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/BSL/VCST | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: June 23, 2026 at 08:48 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 22, 2026
The VIIRS/NPP Imagery Resolution 6-Min L1B Swath 375m Near REal Time (NRT), short-name VNP02IMG_NRT is among the VIIRS Level 1 and Level 2 swath products that are generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during the S-NPP satellite overpass. The VIIRS sensor has 5 high-resolution imagery channels (I-bands) that have 32 detectors (32 rows of pixels per scan), with twice the resolution of the M-bands and the DNB, that span the wavelengths from 0.640 micrometer to 11.45 micrometer. The VNP02IMG product is comprised of 5 bands that are sensitive to visible, near-infrared (NIR), and thermal wavelengths. The spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 375 m for the Imagery bands, and 750m for the DNB and the Moderate-resolution Bands. The spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 750 m for the Moderate-resolution and Day/Night Bands, and 375 m for the Imagery bands.
