NASA's VNP43MA1N product provides daily Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and albedo model parameters at a 1 km resolution globally. It is generated using a 16-day rolling window of data from the VIIRS/NPP satellite, applying the RossThick/Li-Sparse-Reciprocal kernel-driven model. The dataset includes 24 Science Dataset layers, such as the fiso, fvol, and fgeo kernel weights for multiple spectral bands, enabling researchers to model surface anisotropy and calculate albedo.
