We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Featured Erosion and Sedimentation Observation Method: VIIRS
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), which flies aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and NOAA-platforms, collects visible and infrared imagery along with global observations of Earth's land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and ocean.
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) will help ensure continuity of Earth observations after the upcoming retirement of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).
Join us to learn how to discover, subset, access and visualize both MODIS and VIIRS data products using a suite of user-friendly tools developed by NASA's ORNL DAAC.
Learn about the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument and how to access VIIRS Surface Reflectance data.
