On November 21, 2011 the first measurements from the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument on NASA's National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project (NPP) satellite were acquired. These still images show one of the instrument's data swaths. The first image shows the data swath wrapped to a globe for context. The second image shows the data swath in a cartesian projection.
This image was produced using VIIRS M-bands SVM05, SVM04, SVM03 (red, green, blue) at 1000 meter resolution.
