The retrieval algorithm is based on a legacy product originally developed for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor but is adapted and improved upon for use by VIIRS. The AOD product consists of vertically-integrated total column extinction at mid-visible 0.55 micron and for a range of wavelengths from 0.412 to 2.25 micron. The spatial resolution is 750 meters at nadir. The temporal resolution provides global coverage daily except under cloudy or unfavorable conditions. VIIRS AOD data distributed by the NESDIS Data Exploitation system (NDE) that are obtained from the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed in single 86-second granules in NetCDF-4 format with metadata attributes included. It is important to note that the Aerosol Particle Size Parameter (APSP) is included in this EDR only over ocean and is reported as Ångström exponent. The S-NPP VIIRS aerosol products are designed for use by the climate, air quality, research, applied, private, governmental, and military communities for the purpose of research, forecasts, communication, and policy decisions. onGoing DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact continual https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C01446.PNG Example of Suomi NPP VIIRS AOD (Enterprise) with global coverage from August 21, 2015.
