NASA/NOAA's Suomi NPP VIIRS sensor provides daily global BRDF model parameters at a 0.05-degree resolution, derived from a 16-day moving window of snow-free observations. The dataset includes 39 to 43 layers containing the three RossThick/Li-Sparse-Reciprocal model parameters (fiso, fvol, fgeo) for 13 spectral bands, including the Day/Night Band and broadbands. These parameters are foundational for generating downstream albedo and nadir-adjusted reflectance products used in climate simulation models.
