NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP VIIRS VNP43IA2 Version 2 is a daily, global satellite data product providing quality metrics for Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and albedo at a 500-meter resolution. It uses 16 days of VIIRS imagery data, weighted to the ninth day, and applies the RossThick/Li-Sparse-Reciprocal BRDF model to correct for surface anisotropic effects. The product's 11 Science Dataset layers support the continuity of MODIS BRDF/Albedo data and enable the calculation of black-sky and white-sky albedo.
License details are not explicitly stated ('other-license-specified'). Data is distributed in specialized formats (e.g., BIN, ISO) typical of NASA Earthdata products, which may require specific software or libraries to read.
