Albedo Data Access and Tools

From discovery to visualization, data tools such as the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Subset/Visualization Tool, Earthdata Search, and Worldview guide users in making the most of albedo data.

Featured Albedo Observation Method: VIIRS
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) flies aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and NOAA-platforms. VIIRS collects global observations of Earth's land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and ocean, including measurements of albedo.
