VNP43D53 is a global satellite-derived dataset providing the uncertainty range for each pixel in the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and Albedo product from the Suomi NPP VIIRS instrument. It is produced daily using a 16-day data composite at a 30 arc-second (approximately 1,000 meter) resolution, temporally weighted to the ninth day, and formatted on a Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) for climate simulations. The product is part of a suite that includes quality flags, local solar noon, valid observation counts, and snow status.
License is listed as 'other-license-specified'; users must review terms. File formats include BIN, ISO, PDF, and HTML, suggesting the primary data is in a specialized binary format accompanied by documentation.
