VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite)

Product Description:
The Level-2 Continuity Atmospheric Aerosol Deep Blue Product (AERDB_L2) provides full global coverage of aerosol properties from the Deep Blue (DB) algorithm. The DB algorithm covers the entire land area of the Earth, including both dark and bright surfaces. Results are provided on a 6 x 6 km pixel scale (6 km at nadir). Each product file covers a six-minute time interval. Product files are stored in NetCDF4 format.

Production Frequency:
VIIRS: 240 files per day

Spatial Coverage:
Global, in 6 minute granules

Spatial Resolution:
6 x 6 km at nadir

File Size:
100 MB
