    • VIIRS/NPP Moderate Resolution Terrain-Corrected Geolocation 6-Min L1 Swath 750m NRT

    Metadata Updated: October 1, 2024

    The VIIRS/NPP Moderate Resolution Terrain-Corrected Geolocation L1 6-Min Swath 750m Near Real Time (NRT) product, short-name VNP03MOD_NRT includes the geolocation fields that are calculated for each VIIRS moderate resolution band (M-band) Line of sight (LOS) for all orbits at the nominal resolution of 750 m. The locations and ancillary information correspond to the intersection of the centers of each Field of View (FOV) from 16 detectors in an ideal M-band on the Earth's surface. A digital terrain model is used to model the Earth's surface. The main inputs are the spacecraft attitude and orbit ephemeris data, the instrument telemetry and the digital elevation model. The geolocation fields contained within the VNP03MOD Geolocation files include geodetic latitude, longitude, surface height above the geoid, solar zenith and azimuth angles, satellite zenith and azimuth angles, and a land/water mask for each 750m sample. Additional information is included in the header to enable the calculation of the approximate location of the center of the detectors for any of the VIIRS bands. This product is used as input by subsequent VIIRS Moderate Resolution products, particularly those produced by the Land team.
