VIIRS/JPSS2 Day/Night Band 6-Min L1B Swath 750 m

Published by NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/BSL/VCST;NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/HBSL/BISB/MODAPS;NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/HBSL/BISB/LAADS | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: September 06, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-08-07
The VIIRS/JPSS2 Day/Night Band 6-Min L1B Swath 750 m, short-name VJ202DNB, of the Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2/NOAA-21; referred to hereafter as J2) platform-derived single NASA VIIRS panchromatic Day-Night band (DNB) calibrated radiance product. The DNB is one of the M-bands with an at-nadir spatial resolution of 750 meters (across the entire scan). The panchromatic DNB’s spectral wavelength ranges from 0.5 micrometer to 0.9 micrometer. It facilitates measuring night lights, reflected solar/lunar lights with a large dynamic range between a low of a quarter moon illumination to the brightest daylight. The J2 VIIRS radiometric calibration Level-1B reprocessing includes a few calibration updates for the reflective solar bands (RSB), but no significant changes for the day-night band (DNB) or thermal emissive bands (TEB).
