NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) announced the availability of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Version 2 Land Surface Temperature and 3-Band Emissivity (LST&E) product suite. The VIIRS Version 2 release includes data products from both the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite and the NOAA-20 satellite which was previously called Joint Polar Satellite System-1 (JPSS-1). This release covers the joint mission period from year 2018 up to the leading edge. Details on product improvements for Version 2 are provided on the digital object identifier (DOI) landing pages. Suomi NPP VIIRS Version 1 LST&E data products will remain available and will continue with forward processing during this transition.
Along with the release of the existing Land Surface Temperature and 3-Band Emissivity products, LP DAAC released new daily, 8-day, and monthly datasets at 0.05 degree (5,600 meter) spatial resolution in a global Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) for use in climate simulation models.
