Need quick-look cloud and land fraction data

Post by JimBiard »

Hi.

I need access to per-granule cloud fraction and land fraction data for VIIRS that doesn't require me to access entire SDR or EDR streams. Does anyone know of place where such data is being served up?

Grace and peace,

I'm not sure I understand your question, particularly the part about "...that doesn't require me to access entire SDR or EDR streams." By that do you mean you don't want to run algorithms upstream in the VIIRS chain, such as SDRs?

I want to identify granules that meet my criteria, then download those for my processing. This isn't really an ADL question. I thought I'd see if anyone in this community might have an idea of who to contact.
