VIIRS/NPP Moderate Resolution Terrain-Corrected Geolocation L1 6-Min Swath 750m NRT
The VNP03MOD_NRT, a Near Real Time (NRT) product, 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. file_naming_convention = VNP03MOD_NRT.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.
