VIIRS/NPP On Board Calibrator (OBC) IP NRT
The VIIRS Level 1 and Level 2 swath products are generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during the 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 µm to 11.45 µm. The VIIRS on-board calibrator and engineering data product is referred to by it's shortname, VNP02OBC. The VIIRS On Board Calibrator IP file contains space view, solar diffuser, on-board calibrator blackbody (OBCBB) view observations, the associated gain state and HAM side information, and all engineering and housekeeping data, including unscaled data from the Solar Diffuser Stability Monitor (SDSM)/VIIRS Earth View Radiometric Calibration Unit and the Solar Diffuser GEO angles. For additional information, see the Operational Algorithm Description (OAD) Document for the L1B product (http://npp.gsfc.nasa.gov/sciencedocs/2015-08/474-00090_OAD-VIIRS-CAL-GEO-SDR_H.pdf). The document describes how VIIRS operates in space and provides the equations implemented by the L1B software to generate the MODIS Level 1 intermediate products. It is a summary document the presents the formulae and error budges used to transform VIIRS digital counts to radiance and reflectance. file_naming_convention = VNP02OBC.AYYYYDDD.HHMM.CCC.nc AYYYYDDD = Acquisition Year and Day of Year HHMM = Hour and minute of acquisition CCC = Collection number nc = NetCDF5

- Quality This is a near real-time (NRT) product that has undergone expedited processing to make it available within 3 hours of observation time to meet the needs of the NRT applications community. NRT data are subject to geolocation errors or reprocessing. Usually the geolocationalerrors are minimal (less than 100 meters), however, there are situations, particularly before and after spacecraft maneuvers and during space weather events, when the difference can increase up to several kilometers.
