VIIRS/NPP Granular Gridded Day Night Band 500m Linear Lat. Lon. Grid Night NRT

The Near Real Time (NRT) Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) NASA Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) hourly top-of-atmosphere, at-sensor nighttime radiance product called VIIRS/NPP Granular Gridded Day Night Band 500m Linear Lat Lon Grid Night. Known by its short-name, VNP46A1G_NRT, is same as VNP46A1_NRT except that this product is generated hourly, cumulative from start of day through the hour the file is generated for. This product contains 26 Science Data Sets (SDS) that include sensor radiance, zenith and azimuth angles (at-sensor, solar, and lunar), cloud-mask flags, time, shortwave IR radiance, brightness temperatures, VIIRS quality flags, moon phase angle, and moon illumination fraction. It also provides Quality Flag (QF) information specific to the cloud-mask, VIIRS moderate-resolution bands M10, M11, M12, M13, M15, M16, and DNB.
