Daily global data from the Suomi NPP VIIRS satellite provides the geometric parameter for the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and Albedo model for the shortwave broadband (1.61 μm). This product is part of a suite of model parameters generated at 30 arc-second (1,000 meter) resolution on a Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) covering the entire globe, using a 16-day rolling window temporally weighted to the ninth day. The geometric parameter, alongside isotropic and volumetric parameters, is used to derive surface albedo and anisotropy for climate simulation and land surface monitoring.
