VIIRS/NPP Water Reservoir Monthly L3 Global V002

Metadata Updated: January 22, 2024

The NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Water Reservoir Product Monthly Level 3 (L3) Global (VNP28C3) Version 2 product provides current data for 151 man-made reservoirs and 13 regulated natural lakes for a total of 164 reservoirs.

The VNP28C3 data product is a composite of the 8-day area classifications from VNP28C2 which is converted to provide monthly elevation and water storage. The Lake Temperature and Evaporation Model (LTEM) with input from VIIRS Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (VNP21A2) and meteorological data from Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) are used to produce monthly evaporation rates and volume losses.

The VNP28C3 data product provides a monthly time series that consists of a single layer with information about the reservoir identifier, dam location (longitude and latitude), reservoir surface area, elevation, water storage capacity, evaporation rate, and evaporation volume.
