VIIRS/JPSS2 Land Surface Temperature/Emissivity Daily L3 Global 1km SIN Grid Night V002
OpenL3Data productThermal
NOAA-21 VIIRS nighttime land surface temperature and emissivity, composited daily on a 1 km product grid from cloud-screened observations. Product grid spacing differs from native sensor sampling. Publisher quality, licensing and download authentication apply. Catalog extents are nominal scope, not complete observed coverage.
