VIIRS/JPSS1 Moderate Resolution 6 Min L1B Swath 750m NRT

The VIIRS/JPSS1 Moderate Resolution 6-Min L1B Swath 750m Near Real Time (NRT), short-name VJ102MOD_NRT is one of VIIRS Level 1 and Level 2 swath products that is generated from the processing of 6 minutes of VIIRS data acquired during the JPSS1 satellite overpass. The VJ102MOD_NRT is VIIRS L1B calibrated radiances product that comprise sixteen moderate-resolution or M-bands, which have a spatial resolution of 750-meters at nadir. These M-bands comprise eleven reflective solar bands (RSB) and five thermal emissive bands (TEB). Each of the M-bands has 16 detectors in the along-track direction with 16 rows of pixels per scan that provide a 750-m resolution. Ranging in wavelengths from 0.402 micron to 12.49 micron, the M-bands are sensitive to visible, near-, shortwave-, mediumwave-, and longwave-infrared wavelengths. Derived from the NASA VIIRS L1A raw radiances, this product includes calibrated and geolocated radiance and reflectance data, quality flags, and granule- and collection-level metadata. In contrast to a MODIS L1B product, which temporally spans 5 minutes, the VIIRS L1B calibrated radiances product contains a nominal temporal duration of 6 minutes.

The spatial resolution of the instrument at viewing nadir is approximately 750 m for the Moderate-resolution and Day/Night Bands, and 375 m for the Imagery bands.
